The Consultation Process
The Residency Program Solutions process consists of three steps: pre-site process, the site visit and the report.
Pre-Site Process
Residency Program Solutions makes the most effective use of your time and budget by identifying specific needs areas, which enables the most efficient use of your time during the site visit.
Contact us -- whether you are a program director, department chair, medical school dean or hospital CEO. With your first phone call, Residency Program Solutions staff can help you determine the type of consult that is right for you. Your consultation can be as broad as the Overall Program Review or as specific as the Rural Training Track. Choose the Program Impact consultation with key financial metrics to help you demonstrate your program's value to the sponsoring hospital and the surrounding community, or the Focused Financial Issues consultation to target specific financial concerns. Review the many commonly requested consultations for ideas that may help jump-start your plans.
Because Residency Program Solutions' consultants are family medicine residency educators, they know the issues you face and can direct you to the right solutions the first time.
Tell us about your program. You’ll receive the Residency Program Solutions pre-site questionnaire for your completion, the foundation for a successful site visit. The pre-site questionnaire is comprehensive but not cumbersome. You probably already have the information readily available or can easily obtain it from your own institutional staff.

Site Visit
A site visit is typically scheduled for two days. The consultant will work with you to determine an appropriate agenda, which may include meetings and “walking-around” time. The consultant can also respond to any issues that are revealed during the visit but not indicated in the questionnaire.
Consultation Report
The Residency Program Solutions report is tailored to address your program’s specific needs with recommendations you can implement immediately. And we remain your resource after the report is mailed. We’ll answer follow-up questions and provide additional support as needed following your consult.
Typically, you’ll receive a report within a few weeks of the site visit.
