Faculty and residents from the Family Medicine Residency, a partnership with Pullman Regional Hospital, are spreading the word about the benefits of longitudinal block scheduling for patients and providers.
Second-year resident Mohammed Younes, MD, presented with Program Director Stephen Hall, MD, and Associate Program Director Molly Thompson, MD, FAAFP, at the annual meeting of the Rural Medical Training Collaborative (RMTC) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, this month. Their presentation was titled “Creating a Longitudinal Block Schedule to Create Joy of Continuity of Care.”
RMTC is a cooperative of undergraduate and graduate medical programs that helps sustain health professions in rural communities through education, training, networking, mutual encouragement, and peer learning, according to the organization’s website. The theme of this year’s meeting was “Turquoise Trail: The Pathway to Vibrant Rural Healthcare Collaboration.”
