The Salt Lake Family Practice Residency provides a unique combination of a strong community hospital and community practice orientation as well as excellent university rotations. At Salt Lake Regional Medical Center, Family Practice residents staff the Family Practice Service, the emergency room, obstetrics, and a special care nursery service. Our first month of surgery curriculum is also based at Salt Lake Regional Medical Center where residents work with multiple surgical faculty as first assistant.
Emphasis is placed on ambulatory and short stay surgery, as well as working in an inpatient setting.
The second month of surgery is done at one of several rural sites. Numerous elective rotations with private physicians also takes place at Salt Lake Regional Medical Center. The University Hospital Internal Medicine Service is staffed by Internal Medicine and Family Practice faculty, who have admitting privileges to the major University Hospital services. Family Practice faculty and residents may deliver their obstetric patients at either the University Hospital, Salt Lake Regional Hospital, or LDS Hospital. Pediatric rotations take place at Primary Children's Medical Center.
