A competent family physician comes from a solid training curriculum based on the six core competencies of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and built on the belief in holistic health care that encompasses individual, family, and community. In Taiwan, the training of family medicine began with the government-funded fostering program of general practitioners in 1976. National Taiwan University Hospital initiated the training program of general practitioners, the prototype of Taiwan’s family medicine training system, in 1979. The Association of Family Medicine, ROC, was then established in 1986 as the first institute entrusted by the government to implement family medicine specialty certification examination and residency training program accreditation. In 2013, the Residency Review Committee was organized by government to assess and approve the accreditation processes conducted by medical specialist societies for the evaluation of their residency training programs. The article incorporated three major sections. The first covered the origin and the official basis of the accreditation of family medicine residency programs in Taiwan. The second dwelled on the core and the flexibility of the family medicine residency curriculum based on the requirement of Residency Review Committee. The final section focused on the development trend of family medicine residency programs and curricula. An example about the trend of family medicine as a subspecialty in Canada was introduced. The competency-based developmental outcomes, such as milestones and entrustable professional activities, were also provided. |
