Methods: We conducted a repeated cross-sectional study annually from 2017 to 2019 with FM and OB/GYN residents from 189 residency programs across 33 states in the United States licensed to operate CP. We applied crude and adjusted logistic regression models to identify predictors of intentions to engage withCP in future practice. Results: Of 212 FM and 176 OB/GYN residents included in analysis, 67.01% of respondents intended to participate as a facilitator inCP in future practice and 51.80% of respondents were willing to talk to decision makers about establishing CP. Both FM and OB/GYN residents who spent more than 15 hours engaged withCP and who expressed a supportive attitude towardsCP were more likely to participate as a facilitator. FM residents who were more familiar withCP reported higher intention to participate as a facilitator, while OB/GYN residents exposed to multiple types of engagement withCP were more likely to report an intention to participate as a facilitator. Conclusion: Engagement with and attitudes towardsCP during residency are key factors in residents’ intention to practiceCP in the future. In residency programs that provideCP for patients, program directors should consider the timing ofCP training and types of resident engagement with the model.
