 The San Francisco VA Medical Center is home to one of five Centers of Excellence in Primary Care Education. In these Centers, VA primary care settings are used to develop and test innovative approaches to prepare resident physicians, nurse practitioner students, and associated health trainees for primary care practice in the 21st Century.
Our center, called EdPACT (Education in Patient Aligned Care Teams), will develop and implement an inspirational model of patient-centered, interprofessional education that will advance primary care within and beyond the VA. Our model brings teams of health care providers and staff, internal medicine (IM) residents, adult nurse practitioner (NP) students, and associated health trainees together to build core knowledge and skills that they apply to their own individual patient panel, a shared team panel of patients, and to the clinical systems in which they work.
