The University of Minnesota’s residency programs in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Family Medicine as well as the combined program in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, in collaboration with the School of Nursing, School of Social Work, and the College of Pharmacy, have developed the Interprofessional Minnesota PrimAry Care Team (IMPACT) as a result of the Primary Care Faculty Development Initiative (PCFDI).
The mission of IMPACT is to promote and strengthen an interprofessional patient-centered primary care workforce for the state of Minnesota. Initial efforts have been focused on piloting faculty development around teaching and assessing residents in patient-centered interviewing, and on the development of an inter-professional and interdisciplinary curriculum for residents and health professional learners on the fundamentals of Patient-Centered Health Care Homes.
