Why METRIC for my residency program?

METRIC for Residents
It's a QI project already structured!
Completing METRIC will meet ACGME requirements for residents and MC-FP Part IV requirement for faculty. Faculty also earn 20 Prescribed CME credits.

Program directors can preview METRIC modules by contacting METRIC staff.

What about cost?
Residents and faculty do not pay a registration fee to participate in METRIC modules. The residency program will incur a nominal administrative charge, effective July 1, 2011 - details in the FAQ for Residency Programs below.

Customized group reporting is available.
AAFP METRIC staff are able to provide a group report listing each member of the practice group and what stage of the METRIC module he or she has completed. This report is available as frequently as needed. Contact the METRIC staff for additional report options.

How do we get started?
