A ratio of at least one preceptor to four residents in the clinic is maintained.
Emphasis is placed on clinical decision-making in the ambulatory setting.
Residents work beside attendings, physician assistants, and medical students as well as obstetric residents who rotate with The Department of Family and Community Medicine to gain experience in ambulatory medicine. Family practice residents follow and deliver their own obstetric patients during their second and third years. A block system limits the OB call to one four-week period in each year. There is an ongoing noon conference schedule with at least two departmental conferences per week throughout the year. Additional conferences in sports medicine, X-ray interpretation, EKG review and Board Review occur approximately one additional day per week.
