Each faculty member is responsible for developing areas of special expertise which he or she pursues through writing, research and community service. These special areas of expertise complement the teaching program for residents. We view resident selection as a critical process to the future of the department. All faculty and current residents participate in the interview and selection process. The department of family medicine at Jefferson has devoted continuous effort to create a comprehensive, three-year training experience.
Emphasis is given to critical thinking and to maximizing all available educational resources.
Our close relationship with all Jefferson departments facilitates educational interchange as a component of both clinical activity and conferences. Our faculty includes a psychiatrist, a psychologist, and a social worker who contribute to teaching the biopsychosociocultural model of care. Support mechanisms for residents are given highest priority and contribute to the mutual respect between faculty and residents. I appreciate the interest that you have shown in the Thomas Jefferson University Family Medicine Residency Program and hope to have the opportunity to meet you in the future. All Rights Reserved.
