AGE FRIENDLY HEALTH SYSTEM 4M - Competency-Based Curriculum for Internal Medicine Residents

Sep 28, 2026

Age Friendly Health System 4Ms is an evidence-based framework guiding high-value care for older adults. Focusing on internal medicine residents in multiple training levels, the study assessed perceived proficiency in core AGS/ADGAP competencies organized under the 4Ms framework. A pre-curriculum survey of 35 residents measured self-reported expertise (1–5) across competencies. Lower scores emerged for mobility and multicomplexity, with the lowest ratings for pressure-injury screening and multifaceted fall-prevention planning. Results inform a QR-generated skills tracker and curricular alignment to priority learning needs.
