Primary Care Residency Innovation Collaborative – Learning, Peer Education and Research (PRICLe PEaR) is the primary care residency learning collaborative for the state of Arizona. Medical schools and residencies across the state of Arizona meet regularly and collaborate to advance the state of primary care for Arizonans.
Mission
To support primary care physician faculty and medical learners in the state of Arizona through provision of resources and collaboration to advance the education of evidence-conscious, community-oriented primary care physicians.
Vision
An exceptionally trained primary care physician for each Arizonan.
Values
Primary Care is Foundational – All people should have access to a primary care physician they trust, and from whom they can receive longitudinal, broad scope, patient-centered care. That primary care physician should coordinate all preventive and specialty care. Health systems must be oriented to delivering access through primary care physician-lead teams as this provides the best population-level health outcomes in the most affordable way.
Care should be High-Quality & Evidence-Based – The provision of primary care in our state should be based on rigorously derived evidence, should be cost-effective, of high quality and oriented to meaningful patient outcomes. Where evidence is insufficient, we must seek it with methodologically sound scholarly activity/research.
Community Oriented & Access-Focused – Care should be oriented to the needs of our community, serving all members of the population. Initiatives of PRICLe PEaR will be community responsive, with a particular focus on providing access to health for all people.
Physician Wellness – Physician wellness is critical to reducing burnout, early exit from full-spectrum primary care and maintenance of physician workforce. Well-being is imperative for our physician workforce; we cannot care for patients if we do not care for ourselves.
Team-based care – Primary care is best delivered through team-based interprofessional care. Initiatives of PRICLe PEaR will foster strong interprofessional team cultures.

- Collaborative, supportive and inclusive of all stakeholders.
