Curriculum & Education
Overview
Our unique longitudinal curriculum is designed around the concept that adult learners incorporate information best by revisiting important topics over time. While emphasizing time in our family medicine clinics (FMC and Jane Pauley CHC), we also hope that each resident who comes to our program can carve out an individualized educational experience that will prepare them for whatever setting they ultimately enter upon graduation - full-spectrum family medicine, fellowship, hospital work or outpatient practice. We offer additional training and rotations for residents with more interests in obstetrics, addiction care, sports medicine and hospital medicine.
Application
Application Deadline: November 30, 2024. Virtual interviews from mid-October to the end of December, possibly extending into January.
