Occupational health services are also available at Carolinas Medical Center's Employee Health Department, local urgent care sites, and work sites and corporate offices of leading area businesses. Continuity of patient care is enhanced through the team concept. Each resident works within a single module as a part of a team consisting of residents from each year, physician faculty members and nursing staff. This acute-care experience coupled with assigned regularly scheduled family practice office hours provides ample experience in ambulatory care and ensures that residents build a manageable personal panel of patients with which the principles of family medicine can be put into action daily. Senior residents participate in small groups to share every sixth night call for coverage of the practice and the family medicine inpatient service at Carolinas Medical Center.
Call is taken from home, but a call room is available in the medical center.
After hours, residents triage and see patients at the office or in the emergency department as is customary in group practice in the community.
