GME - Family Medicine

The Family Medicine Residency is a three-year, university-affiliated program sponsored by a large, active community teaching hospital. Six residents enter the program each year. The faculty consists of eight family physicians, a psychologist, and two clinical pharmacists. The faculty and residents practice in a state-of-the-art facility located near the hospital. This enhances the residents' learning experience by ensuring ready availability of faculty at all times and by having residents and faculty seeing patients side-by-side.

The priority of the program is the education of residents by faculty within the department and specialists in a wide variety of disciplines. Education is also provided in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings. Over the course of three years, this education moves more from the inpatient to the outpatient setting, progressively modeling the role of a practicing family physician.
