Once a week lectures are scheduled for the joint DO and MD family practice residents. Monthly, core lectures are held for all 112 residents of the St. Luke s Hospital System. Several of our residents have presented their research both regionally and nationally. The investment of this new facility shows the administration s commitment to medical education. Our ambulatory care facility is the cornerstone of the residency.
Education is continuous and informal.
We stress cost-effective care management and expect use of OMT on a regular basis. We have full time behavioral medicine faculty to help the resident develop the interview skills of a mature physician. Stuart Horowitz, LSW, ACSW, is a clinical social worker that works with the residents. Stuart has instituted a 3-year plan for resident development. This plan stresses competent and efficient history and interview skills in the intern year.
