A three-year, rural-orientated program, Valley Health’s Shenandoah Valley Family Practice Residency uses training sites in both Front Royal and Winchester, Virginia. As an indication of the program’s high standards and reputation for quality, several residents of the Shenandoah Valley Family Practice Residency have presented at the annual conference of the North American Primary Care Research Group (NAPCRG) for three years in a row.
Established in 1972, NAPCRG is the largest group of its kind in the world. With members representing behavioral sciences, health services research, and all of the health care generalist disciplines, the nonprofit organization is dedicated to spearheading practice-based research networks, funding a wide range of research projects, and connecting its members at annual meetings. Led by nine different committees, the organization recognizes research innovations and significant achievements in the field with its awards and scholarships, including the Maurice Wood Award for Lifetime Contribution to Primary Care Research and the Distinguished Research Mentor Award, among others. Presented at NAPCRG’s annual meeting, the Distinguished Research Mentor Award recognizes a member for his or her contributions to the field. The award is open to researchers who are current NAPCRG members with at least 10 years of related professional experience. Additionally, applicants must be nominated by someone who is also a NAPCRG current member. Award qualifications further include a letter of support and a summary of the nominee’s mentoring work. Other awards NAPCRG issues recognize distinguished work of trainees, student research, and new investigators in the field.
