California Residency Network



Ensuring that we train a sufficient number of family physicians and support them to practice in areas where they are needed most is essential to guarantee optimal health outcomes for California. In order to share best practices and coordinate their activities, in 2014, family medicine residency program directors voted to implement a membership fee to support the creation of a network of California-based family medicine residency programs. The CAFP Residency Network, or CRN, has four strategic priority areas: advocacy, faculty development, innovative curriculum, and scholarly activity.

Mission and Vision

Mission: The CAFP Residency Network (CRN) comprises family medicine residency leaders and educators advocating for the statewide advancement of family medicine through leadership development, improvement of resident education, faculty and pipeline development, promotion of wellness within the specialty, collaborative interdisciplinary innovation, continuous curricular improvement and legislative engagement.

Vision: Family medicine is a primary solution for population health. Family medicine residency programs provide inspired, broadly skilled, accessible and valuable physician leaders for California communities.

CAFP Residency Network’s strategy and actions are guided by the following values:  
  • Collaborating across all levels of family medicine education

  • Sustainability and stewardship of resources as exemplified in our function and our shared actions
  • Mentorship to develop future leaders and teachers of family medicine
  • Developing a diverse, culturally competent pipeline of family physicians

    Membership

    All accredited California family medicine residency programs are eligible for membership in the CRN. Membership dues are based on the resident complement of the program.
