ADVOCATING FOR OUR FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENTS

WE NEED YOUR STORIES (and your videos)!

We’re asking all NJ Family Medicine residents to join NJAFP as content creators in an upcoming social media and advocacy campaign to highlight the value of family medicine training in New Jersey and the importance of our family medicine residencies to the state and their local communities.

RECOMMENDED CONTENT

You may submit multiple takes and multiple stories.  You do not need to edit or produce these videos, as we'll be editing them before uploading. However, you must include your name and residency information in all videos submissions.

Please use these questions as guidelines for your content (Feel free to submit other ideas in addition):

  • Name, where you are from, and what medical school you attended (Required on all videos)
  • What year of residency and at which NJ family medicine residency program (Required on all videos)
  • Why did you choose family medicine – please share any color on making that choice
  • Share a story about the type of work you are doing at your residency program. Highlight a specific patient (or entire family) experience that demonstrates the connection you are making with patients and the value FM brings to their overall well-being.
  • We recently had a health system announce the closure of one of our state’s valued family medicine residency programs. Please use this opportunity to explain how the closure of any family medicine residency would impact your patients and the surrounding community.
  • And anything else you feel would help highlight the value of family medicine training in NJ.
  • IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE REACH OUT TO US:

VIDEO PRODUCTION SPECIFICATIONS

Please produce your video content to the following specifications:

  • Recording Length:  Please try to keep each of your videos under 2 minutes in length.  Please do not feel you have to jam everything into one video.  Submit more videos.  
    • You may submit multiple takes of the same story which we will edit as necessary.
    • You may also submit multiple stories.    
  • Recording Format:  We will accept videos shot in portrait or landscape configuration.  However, for this project we would prefer you shoot in portrait (vertical/Instagram) format.
  • Recording Style:  Since this program is aimed at social media, we prefer all videos be recorded on your cellphone or mobile device.
  • Background: 
    • Make sure there are no questionable images in the background (i.e. - children,  pharmaceutical advertisements, inappropriate images that would be censored by social media platforms, casino games, etc.).
    • If you have any questions, please reach out to us for clarification.
  • Audio:  Make sure your video is recorded with audio (we know, but just to be safe, check your phone before recording your content.)
    • Natural sound only - please don't put any background music or sound effects on your content.
    • Choose a shooting environment without wind and excessive road or ambient noise.  Some background sound is OK, but not at the expense of your message.
