    • Score the Strength of Your Residency Program

    Free tool provides benchmark
    for RPS Criteria of Excellence

    AAFP's new Online Residency Assessment Tool helps family medicine residency programs enhance quality and effectiveness with expert-backed recommendations. Built on The RPS Criteria for Excellence, this tool aligns with family medicine residency best practices to identify areas for improvement and ensure top-tier training. Programs can also use these criteria to demonstrate to their institutions what it takes to deliver a high-quality residency experience.

    Strengthen your program today and showcase your commitment to excellence in family medicine education.

    How It Works

    • Programs input their own data to measure against the best practices and policies and gain insights into their strengths and areas of improvement.
    • A detailed evaluation report with the program’s score is provided via email following the assessment.
