EVMS tapped for national primary-care reform initiative

EVMS is one of just nine institutions chosen to participate in Professionals Accelerating Clinical and Educational Redesign (PACER), a three-year nationwide program aimed at improving primary-care practices and patient outcomes.

PACER participants will build and model interprofessional faculty teams to transform primary-care practices and educational programs. They will prepare trainees to work together in high-performing, patient-centered medical homes. EVMS Family and Community Medicine is partnering with Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters and Old Dominion University to develop the teams.

Other institutions accepted into PACER include Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and UC Davis School of Medicine and School of Nursing.
