Office of Resident Education
Resident education is the “graduate school” of the medical school. The department of Family Medicine graduates 16 Family Physicians each year. Our residents represent countries around the globe and receive training to practice in rural and urban underserved communities around the world. The learning environment is at the side of patients and families (both sick and well) in clinics, offices and hospitals. Family medicine residents learn to care for all persons, all body systems and all ages in the context of family and community. The core strength of a family physician is in the organization and care of complex, chronic and multiple medical concerns as well as health promotion and disease prevention. Outstanding methods/approaches in curriculum Resident performance is assessed through direct observation of patient care by faculty as well as measuring competence using standardized patients in a controlled setting. Measuring competence examines the integration of communication and clinical skills, medical knowledge, and professionalism.
