Continuity interrupted: exploring discontinuity of education and mitigation strategies in family medicine

This study suggests that there are three main implications resulting from the impacts of disruption to CoE. Faculty development and curricular design are needed to support interrupted relationships, including finding ways to help faculty and residents nurture changed relationships. Physicians in their first 5 years of practice who have experienced disruption in their training may benefit from additional support to address the negative impact on their sense of preparedness for practice. Finally, the positives learned from this study can be used to face future disruptions to CoE.
