Our Family Practice Residency Program is focused on training physicians to develop a broad base of knowledge, a dedication to compassionate care and a love for practicing family medicine. With numerous educational settings and patient experiences, this comprehensive program prepares physicians to not only provide health care to people of all ages, but also to assume leadership roles in medicine and the community, and contribute to the evolving knowledge base of family practice.
Our Family Practice Residency Program is a three-year (36 month) osteopathic post-graduate program. The program is an AOA-approved residency with both DO and MD faculty physicians which accepts 5 new residents each academic year.
Continuity of care for patients is at the core of the family practice philosophy and is a top priority in our program. The ambulatory care experience provides evidenced-based, quality health care and our residency program clinic helps to provide the longitudinal
hands-on training for our resident physicians. The requirements for continuity clinic participation are as follows:
