The Primary Care Clinician Curriculum supports skill growth in the advanced medical home, chronic care management and accommodative healthcare inclusion.
- Learning collaboratives explore skill-building, improved efficacy and job satisfaction while affording participants continuing education and maintenance of certification credits.
- Frontline clinical tools for care management are available through a public website and a university-based learning platform.
Didactics are repeated twice each monthly to work around the schedules of busy clinicians. Content is advertised to the appropriate audience: pediatric, adult care or both.
