1. AIM StatementIncrease resident knowledge of Advanced Care Directives and their understanding of the Family Medicine Clinic process of handling Advanced Care Directives by 50%. Tools and MeasurementA multiple-choice quiz was composed and completed by 22 Family Medicine Residents. ResultsThe residents confidence and knowledge regarding advanced directives greatly improved after the teaching activity. 22 of 22 residents (100%) answered that they agreed or strongly agreed that they felt more confident in discussing Advanced Directives with patients. In regards to the residents knowledge of the clinic process of advanced directives, 22 of 22 residents (100%) felt they had a better understanding of the FMC process after the teaching activity. By improving residents knowledge about Advanced Directives we can help limit undesired medical treatments and help families avoid financial stress associated with these treatments.

Due to the COVID19 pandemic, there has been an increased need for discussions about advanced directives and code status. It is important that residents can have these discussions with patients and family members. After discussion with multiple family medicine residents, we discovered that most were not comfortable discussing advanced directives with their patients as they did not feel confident in their knowledge of this subject. Also, many residents were unsure of the Family Medicine Clinic process of certifying an advanced directive once the paperwork was completed.Intervention and ImprovementThe team had discussions with multiple palliative care physicians, community health workers, and researched on the Texas Health and Human Resources website where we compiled information into a 1- hour teaching session. After the teaching session, a post-teaching quiz was given to re-evaluate the residents confidence and knowledge of Advanced Directives and the Family Medicine Clinic Advanced Directive process.
