The Resident Scholarship Program is an integrated component of the Family Medicine Residency Training Program. Both the Standards for Accreditation for Residency Programs in Family Medicine and CanMEDs-FM Framework highlight resident involvement in practice improvement as a key component of maintaining satisfactory levels of scholarly activity within departments of family medicine, as well as the importance of having faculty members facilitate residents’ involvement in such activities.

Practice improvement utilizes quality improvement, practice-level data, and research to continually improve care, the patient experience, efficiencies, and the work experience of healthcare providers.  Achieving these improvements will take the efforts of healthcare professionals, patients and their families, researchers, government, planners and educators. It will take ensuring continuous improvement is a fundamental part of everyone’s job, every day, in all parts of the health system, so that we build a culture where everyone recognizes that in health care, “everyone has two jobs when they come to work every day: to do their work and to improve it.”
