About the Program

Residents receive a comprehensive education across the full spectrum of family medicine, with the flexibility to focus elective time on one or two areas of interest. This prepares them for fellowship training or to work in the practice environment of their choosing upon graduation. Our program emphasizes the development of skills and competence necessary to deliver high-quality outpatient care, with the Family Medicine Residency Clinic serving as the centerpiece of the educational experience. A commitment to caring for underserved populations is central to our mission. The program actively seeks innovative ways to reach and support these communities. Residents complete dedicated family medicine clinic rotations throughout all three years, fostering continuity with their patient panels and building the skills required to lead patient-centered medical home teams. We offer longitudinal training in women’s health, procedures (including point-of-care ultrasound), health systems management, behavioral medicine, and care for underserved populations - integrated across all three years.

Our residents do NOT take in-house call at any point during training. Why? Because we don’t have to! and because we believe time outside the hospital and clinic is essential. Whether it’s nurturing personal relationships, enjoying hobbies, or simply recharging, we know one thing: A happy physician is a better physician.
