The purpose of this study is to determine if the implementation of a Family Medicine residency curriculum that is based upon the principles of Clinic First, as originally described by the Center for Excellence in Primary Care at the University of California, San Francisco, results in a decrease in the extent of burnout among Family Medicine resident physicians at David Grant Medical Center on Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, California.

This is a descriptive study designed to assess the extent of burnout among Family Medicine resident physicians pre- and post-implementation of a Clinic First-inspired Family Medicine residency curriculum. The study will utilize the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel (MBI-HSS (MP)), which is a validated instrument that was designed to assess (1) emotional exhaustion, (2) depersonalization, and (3) personal accomplishment among medical personnel.

This is a descriptive study designed to assess the extent of burnout among Family Medicine resident physicians pre- and post-implementation of a Clinic First-inspired Family Medicine residency curriculum. The study will utilize the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel (MBI-HSS (MP)). The MBI-HSS (MP) is a validated instrument that was designed to assess (1) emotional exhaustion, (2) depersonalization, and (3) personal accomplishment among medical personnel. The survey will be administered anonymously as a series of 3 surveys both prior to and following the implementation of a Clinic-First inspired curriculum.

Survey Period #1: Baseline - within 3 months prior to Clinic First implementation Survey Period #2: Short Term - 3-6 months after Clinic First implementation Survey Period #3: Intermediate Term - 9-12 months after Clinic First implementation

The MBI-HSS (MP) will be administered anonymously using printed paper copies to all eligible Family Medicine resident physicians who are in attendance at a Family Medicine residency didactics session within the respective survey period. An independent support staff member from the Clinical Investigations Facility (CIF) will introduce the research study to the resident physicians in attendance using a uniform script and administer the surveys. All Family Medicine resident physicians who meet the eligibility criteria and who are in attendance on the designated didactics day will be provided with a paper copy of the MBI-HSS (MP) and given ample time to complete the questionnaire. The eligible respondents will also be given a separate demographic questionnaire that was generated by the researchers and collects information on gender, age, ethnicity, and marital status. The completed surveys and demographic questionnaires will be collected by the CIF support staff member and de-identified using a using a 4 digit numerical code generated from randomizer.org. The code will be used to link future surveys that are answered by the same resident physician.

For those resident physicians who are not in attendance at the designated didactics session, paper copies of the survey and demographic questionnaire will be placed in their personal mailboxes. An email (email address provided by investigators) will be sent to those resident physicians from a member of the CIF support staff informing them that they have 2 weeks to complete the survey and demographic questionnaire and instructing them to place completed surveys/questionnaires in a labeled manila envelope next to the personal mailboxes. The CIF support staff member will pick-up the labeled manila envelope at the end of the 2 week period and de-identify the surveys as described above. This process will be repeated for each survey period such that each eligible resident physician will complete 3 surveys. The MBI-HSS (MP) will be administered as similarly as possible for all participants both pre- and post-curricular transformation to avoid confounding factors.

Responses to survey questions will be entered into an Excel spreadsheet by the CIF support staff to be readied for the statistician. Responses will be given numerical data values for analysis. Since all of the questions in the MBI-HSS (MP) have already been assigned numerical value, the responses will be coded accordingly. Descriptive statistics (e.g. frequencies and percentages) will be used to for analysis. For each participant, the level of burnout for each sub-section will be calculated using the MBI scoring results/interpretation, and will be compared across the three time points (ie, baseline, 3-6 months following implementation, and 9-12 months after implementation).

Demographic information will be collected to describe the sample.

The investigators acknowledge that there may be missing data if resident physicians decline to complete the MBI-HSS (MP), decline to answer all of the questions within the MBI-HSS (MP), or fail to answer subsequent surveys after completing the baseline MBI-HSS (MP). A response rate for each question within each survey period will be calculated and reported. Incomplete surveys will still be reviewed and included in the final data.

All analyses will be performed using STATA v.13.0 (College Station, TX).
