CAFP Residency Network

In 2014, program directors across California formally organized as the CAFP Residency Network (CRN) to better promote collegiality, joint advocacy and the sharing of ideas. Now, with more than 70 family medicine residency programs, this collaboration and unity is more important than ever.

Since its formation, the CRN has been instrumental in protecting Song-Brown funding, expanding CalMedForce dollars, and ensuring the needs of programs are understood by regulators and agencies.The CRN also remains dedicated to advancing family medicine through faculty development, scholarly activity, innovative curriculum and continued advocacy, including strategy related to federal GME reform.

MISSION

The CAFP Residency Network (CRN) is an engaged group of 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.

Advocacy

The CRN speaks with one voice to secure adequate funding to stabilize and expand the family medicine residency programs that produce the primary care workforce California needs. Each year, CAFP assists CRN members as they complete their grant applications.

Curriculum

The CRN shares best practices and innovations to ensure family medicine residents receive the scope and quality of training they require to meet their patients’ needs.

Faculty Development

The CRN establishes and maintains pipelines of educators, including faculty, associate program directors, and program directors, who will train the next generation of family physicians.

Pledge of Post-Interview Communication 2024-25

As the program directors of the California Academy of Family Physicians Residency Network (CRN), we believe in full transparency and fairness in our engagement with prospective candidates for our Family Medicine Residency programs distributed across our state of California. We, the CRN’s Program Directors, pledge to follow the National Resident Matching Program’s (NRMP) Code of Conduct for Programs. Specifically, regarding post-interview contact, the Code states: “The recruitment team may exchange clarifying information with applicants following the interview but must not solicit or require post-interview communication for the purposes of influencing applicants’ ranking preferences.” We reiterate our commitment to this code to help medical students make the best decision possible as they interview and select potential residency programs.

This declaration is an expression of our belief in the values of professionalism and fairness in support of the residency matching process in family medicine. We also do this in support of the tenets of the Association of Family Medicine Residency Directors (AFMRD), Society for Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM), Association of Departments of Family Medicine (ADFM), American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ACOFP), and NRMP.

We support medical students in their objective of obtaining a position at their preferred residency. We understand that direct communication to applicants from the Program Director may be misinterpreted by some applicants as an indication that the applicant will be ranked to match by that program. We also understand that lack of communication from the Program Director may be misinterpreted by some applicants as an indication that the applicant is not sought after. We are making clear here that lack of post-interview direct contact from the undersigned CRN member Program Directors is based solely on our pledge to reduce unnecessary confusion for our applicants.

We support each other and all California Residency Programs in our commitment to provide a learning environment that is professional, fair, and supportive to all students interested in family medicine in the state of California.

Sincerely,
Members of the CRN
