A global 'Common Core' framework for family medicine faculty development: Getting the right person, doing the right thing, right!
Article in African journal of primary health care & family medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFamily medicine is a medical speciality with a global reach, with common core principles but significant regional variations in training pathways, certification and recognition and clinical practice.
aimPartly because of the differences in how family medicine is defined and practised in different areas, there are no existing globally informed guidelines on how to prepare family medicine faculty. This study aims to address this need.
settingThis study was conducted with an expert group composed of family medicine faculty development experts from across the world.
methodsA modified Delphi survey, grounded in a constructivist paradigm, was used to obtain consensus from family medicine faculty development experts representing a diverse range of geographical regions. We applied a combined approach to framework analysis, identifying themes deductively from an existing framework for general clinical educator development, as well as inductively from the comments of study participants. We analysed these responses using thematic analysis.
resultsThe final framework for family medicine faculty development includes three domains, encompassing the technical skills, knowledge and interpersonal approach, and professional role modelling expected of a family medicine educator.
conclusionThis study offers a novel framework for ensuring quality in the educators who are training the next generation of family medicine physicians.Contribution: Developed through consensus of a global expert team, this framework offers specific recommendations regarding technical skills, knowledge, philosophical approaches and professionalism, while offering sufficient flexibility to be applied in a wide array of regions and settings, reflecting the practice of family medicine itself.
