The goal of our residency is to train physicians skilled in
providing continuing and comprehensive personal care to
patients and their families. The program includes education
in all areas of family medicine: adult medicine, maternal
and child health, behavioral science, surgical specialties
and community medicine. It emphasizes the value of wellness
and preventive medicine as well as curative medicine and
provides an opportunity for residents to work with other
members of the health care team.
The residency program is organized as a progressive
educational experience with increasing patient
responsibilities over the three years of training as
residents develop clinical skills and demonstrate medical
judgment and competence. The training program consists of
formal teaching and clinical experiences on assigned
rotations, patient care in the Family Practice Center, and
structured conferences. Our community has diverse medical
resources available for educational use by the residents.
The residency asks the residents to take responsibility for
their learning environment and to work with the faculty in
making their experience the best possible.
