Family Medicine Digital Resources Library

Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) was awarded a 3-year $400,000 grant by the National Library of Medicine to develop the Family Medicine Digital Resources Library (FMDRL).

It will provide an "administrative and technical framework for the dissemination, review, revision, archiving, and maintenance of presentations, learning modules, quizzes, examinations, simulated clinical cases, and other curricular materials. This library will include curricular materials from all levels of family medicine education. FMDRL is to be primary mechanism used by family medicine educators to share curricular materials—resulting in efficient, effective dissemination of curricular materials nationally and internationally. Efforts will be made to build and maintain a critical mass of content related to the core strategic goals of STFM. The library is being developed with an open standards-based infrastructure, permitting interaction with other digital libraries, such as the Health Education Assets Library. "
