Pipeline program at Keck School of Medicine boosts primary care residency matches and representation<\/h1>\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n \n
\n\n \n

An eight-year review of program data shows that the Keck School of Medicine of USC\u2019s Primary Care Program increased the percentage of students entering primary care residency programs, including among groups traditionally underrepresented in medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n

Primary care provides critical support for the global health care system. But in many communities across the country and around the world, primary care physicians are in short supply.<\/p>\n

To help bridge that gap and inspire more students to choose careers in primary care, the Keck School of Medicine of USC launched its Primary Care Initiative in 2011. A key part of the initiative, the Primary Care Program (PCP), is an educational track that provides medical students with a range of patient-centered, hands-on experiences in the local community to prepare them for a career in family medicine, internal medicine or pediatrics.<\/p>\n

A review of PCP data over the past eight years, just published in the journal Family Medicine, reveals the program\u2019s success at recruiting students and guiding them toward careers in primary care. Among PCP graduates, 70% matched into primary care residencies after medical school, compared to just 36% of non-PCP graduates from the Keck School of Medicine. Additionally, across the school, more students matched into primary care residencies in the eight years after the program launched compared to the eight years before.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a world where we don\u2019t have enough primary care providers, we\u2019re exposing students early to the many joys and opportunites within primary care fields. The success of this program can serve as a roadmap for other institutions,\u201d said the study\u2019s lead author, Jo Marie Reilly, MD, MPH, a professor of family medicine and director of the Primary Care Initiative at the Keck School of Medicine.<\/p>\n

Thirty-nine percent of PCP graduates came from backgrounds that are underrepresented in medicine. Many reported coming to KSOM specifically because of the program, Reilly said, and plan to return to serve their communities after they finish training.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re attracting diverse students, training them to become primary care leaders, and providing them with multiple clinical tools to do it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Skill-based training<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Keck School of Medicine\u2019s PCP provides students with a series of patient- and community-centered experiences that help them develop the skills and expertise central to a successful career in primary care medicine. Highlights include long-term mentorship with a primary care physician in the local community, where students work directly with patients in an outpatient setting; health education and community advocacy training to provide nutrition, exercise and cooking classes for patients in Los Angeles County; research opportunities; leadership and interprofessional skills-based training in older adult care; and learning alongside a cohort of like-minded students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe multi-faceted nature of the program is really what\u2019s special here,\u201d Reilly said. \u201cWe\u2019re doing skill-based, hands-on training to prepare students to work in primary care.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the eight years before the program began, 33% of Keck School of Medicine students matched into primary care residencies after graduation. In the eight years after it launched, 39% matched into primary care residencies.<\/p>\n

Between 2015 and 2022, 134 students completed the PCP, with 70% matching into primary care residencies. Thirty-seven percent of graduates went into family medicine, 16% into internal medicine and 10% into pediatrics.<\/p>\n

Of program graduates, 70% were female, 29% were Asian, 29% were Latino, 10% were Black, and 1% came from a different racial or ethnic background. Overall, 39% of program graduates came from groups traditionally underrepresented in medicine.<\/p>\n

Providing a roadmap<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reilly and her coauthor, Ilana Greenberg, MPH, who manages the PCP, are now analyzing data on alumni of the program. Many continue to work in community settings, are teaching the next generation of PCP students, and have even taken on clinical and community leadership roles.<\/p>\n

Part of what\u2019s unique about the Keck School of Medicine\u2019s program is its success in graduating students who serve local communities, even from a private, research- and subspecialty-focused institution that does not receive state or federal funding, Reilly said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis program can serve as a model for other schools interested in increasing the ranks of primary care physicians,\u201d Greenberg said.<\/p>\n
