The American Board of Family Medicine, or ABFM, announced that the U.S. forces to join the Board of Internal Medicine and abîme, create a pilot program for the recognition of target practice, or RFP, for the Hospital Medicine.
The announcement is welcome news to AAFP President-elect Lori Heim, M.D., of Vass, N.C., a hospitalist who says she sees many benefits in such recognition. But she cautions that any RFP program that might result from the pilot should not be used to limit the scope of family physicians who practice the full scope of family medicine, including both inpatient and outpatient medicine.
"There are many family physicians who perform hospitalist work, and it may be beneficial for them," Origin AAFP News Now. "But practice is focused recognition should be interpreted to say that people have to do further training to maintain skills as a physician, who continued to practice in the hospital."
