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.

Scholarly Activity

The CRN shares opportunities for family medicine residents to produce scholarly work that describes the outcomes of their training.

Pledge of Post Residency Interview Communication

September 28, 2022

We, California’s Family Medicine Program Directors, pledge to follow the National Resident Matching Program’s (NRMP) Code of Conduct to “not solicit or require post-interview communication for the purposes of influencing applicants’ ranking preferences nor to promote misleading communication to applicants about ranking intentions” prior to Match Day. We recognize that second-looks are optional for clarifying information following interviews, but are not meant to influence ranking. Members of the California AFP Residency Network offer this commitment in an effort to help medical students make the best decisions 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, Society for Teachers of Family Medicine, Association of Departments of Family Medicine, American Academy of Family Physicians, American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians, and the National Residency Matching Program. 

We support medical students in their objective of obtaining a position at their preferred residency and understand that communication from Program Directors may be misinterpreted as an indication that the applicant will be ranked to match. Each applicant interviewed by the program should be informed that a lack of communication from the Program Director does not mean they are not sought after, but rather is to carry out the mission of the Match in creating a process that is fair. 

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

Sincerely, 

Members of the California Academy of Family Physicians Residency Network
