Family Medicine residency programs must change substantially to prepare for new family physicians a model of practice for the 21st century. This article describes 10 essential skills that are part of a new model of family medicine and the educational changes and resources needed to obtain them. These skills include management of a population of patients, patient-centered care, personal medical home, best knowledge at the point of care, continuous access to multimodal communication, a new platform of care, time intensive visits, group visits, teamwork and interpersonal skills, and financial practice man- agement.

The hard part will be changing practices and residency programs to achieve much higher levels of both service and outcome quality. The tools of health information technology are available and rapidly improving.

TransforMED was formed by the American Academy of Family Physicians to be a catalyst for the New Model of Family Medicine.

The second National Demonstration Project is for residency programs to embrace the transformation process through the Preparing Per- sonal Physicians for Practice (P4) project. This ar- ticle describes the essential skills that new family physicians must have to succeed in the transformed practice setting, and what residency programs must do (ie, change) to provide these skills to their res- idents. A portrait is presented with the professional life of the new personal family physician and a new weekly schedule for residents. Family medicine is moving into uncharted ter-
