Throughout your residency, you will spend a significant amount of time in our off-site, culturally diverse, outpatient Family Medicine Center, under the supervision of a teaching staff of more than 25 full-time, board-certified family physicians, many of whom hold university teaching appointments. In your first year, you will spend two half-days each week in the Family Medicine Center; in your second year, three half-days each week; and in your third year, four-five half days each week. At least one faculty member is assigned to supervise and teach at all times. Our residents are assigned a group of patients whom they follow throughout training, in both outpatient and inpatient settings, with the outpatient experience providing a spectrum of acute and chronic diagnoses. Preventive health care, prenatal obstetrical care, and minor surgical and dermatologic procedures are also emphasized. Laboratory and radiology services, patient education programs, and consultations with various specialties are readily available.
