This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $345,421 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to develop specialized methods for designing annual rotation schedules that support the "Clinic First" educational model in family medicine residency programs. The key objectives are to create a decision-support framework that optimizes residents' clinic experiences and patient continuity, with the goal of better preparing residents and improving retention rates in family medicine. This research aims to advance the solution of large-scale bi-objective integer programs using novel column generation-based decomposition algorithms and branch-and-price methods. The benefits of the new scheduling approach will be analyzed and compared to manual schedules at a partner family medicine residency program. This award supports the NSF's mission to enable innovation, creativity, and excellence in engineering research and education, with the potential to mitigate the nationwide shortage of primary care physicians.
