HELPRESIDENT Structured Framework: A Systematic Review Supporting Struggling Family Medicine Residents

Abstract

Struggling residents in family medicine programs present significant challenges for both the residents themselves and the programs. The main objective is to address these challenges effectively which requires a greater focus on strategies to manage and support these residents. A comprehensive literature review was conducted using databases like PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, focusing on articles published in the last 10 years on managing struggling residents in family medicine programs. The HELPRESIDENT framework was found to provide a clear, structured approach to supporting struggling residents, improving their performance and well-being. Implementing structured frameworks like HELPRESIDENT and SOAP supports struggling residents through comprehensive assessments, targeted interventions, and ongoing monitoring, fostering a positive learning environment.
