BASIC TRAINING FOR FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENTS

Family Medicine residents complete a variety of clinical rotations, such as cardiology, emergency medicine, surgery, etc. Completing training for each medical specialty would be challenging and in some cases not needed.

However FM residents will have to complete basic training for inpatient medicine, ambulatory, and emergency medicine. Summarized below is the suggested learning path for Family Medicine trainees.

1. Inpatient Medicine

• Complete the Inpatient Medicine basic training summarized further down on this page

• Once you pass the associated EUPA your access to Connect Care will be enabled overnight.

2. Ambulatory Medicine

• Ambulatory (clinic) workflows are not covered in the inpatient basic training. 

• Please take some time to review ambulatory documentation and ordering using the links below

  • Outpatient Documentation - Log in with AHS username and password

  • Outpatient Ordering - Log in with AHS username and password

• You do not have to do an additional EUPA

3. Emergency Medicine

The Emergency Medicine interface is significantly different from inpatient and ambulatory functions.

• Before starting an emergency medicine rotation please:

• Review the Emergency Medicine training videos

• You can also use this Emergency Medicine exercise book to practice workflows
