Abstract
Proposed changes to family medicine maternity care training requirements, including a 2-tiered basic and advanced curriculum, have raised questions about their perceived feasibility and impact. The goal of this study was to elicit family medicine obstetrics faculty plans to adopt changes in their maternity care training of family physicians. We surveyed obstetrics curriculum directors at 423 family medicine residency programs, eliciting their plans to accommodate proposed maternity care training requirements. Two hundred nine programs participated (49.4% response rate). Of the curriculum adoption plans reported by directors, 41.7% anticipated using both curriculum models, 19.6% anticipated using the advanced model, 3.9% anticipated using the basic model, and 23.5% had no changes planned for their obstetrics curricula. Most programs plan structured changes, but a significant minority of programs plan no change to their curriculum based on proposed maternity care requirements.
