Improving Well-Being Among Trainees: A Partnership to Reduce Barriers to Primary Care Services.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Improved well-being is a focus for graduate medical education (GME) programs. Residents and fellows often express difficulty with visiting primary care physicians, and this issue has not been thoroughly investigated.

Objective

We reported implementation and utilization of a primary care concierge scheduling service and a primary care video visit service for GME trainees.

Methods

GME leaders collaborated with Duke Primary Care to offer trainees a concierge scheduling service and opportunity for primary care video visits. This quantitative evaluation included (1) analysis of the institutional GME survey results pre- and post-intervention, and (2) review of use of the concierge scheduling line.
