Primary Care Faculty Development Program
The Primary Care Faculty Development Program (PCFDP) prepares primary care faculty for
teaching, research, and leadership in community-based settings.
Directed by DFM Professor Jonathan Temte, MD, PhD, the PCFDP is a Department of Health
and Human Services-funded collaboration between the DFM, the UW Department of Pediatrics,
and the UW Department of Medicine.
Last year, the PCFDP educated over 85 total participants through the following events:
• Annual fellowship. Fourteen primary care physicians were PCFDP fellows last year. Fellows
included two DFM faculty (Julianne Falleroni, DO, MPH, and Paul Hunter, MD) and three
rural family physicians who also serve as volunteer preceptors (Andy Wright, MD, Ann
Hoffmann, MD, and Ekatarina Roman, MD).
• Wellness workshop. Sixty primary care
physicians and their families attended “Primary
Care Work-life to Wellness: Engineering Quality,
Safety & Satisfaction,” a PCFDP-sponsored
weekend workshop held May 13 and 14, 2011, in
Wisconsin Dells.
Participants learned
about the complexities
of primary care worklife,
and formulated
"outside the box”
strategies for increasing
satisfaction and
preventing burnout.
