The residents are given increasing responsibility of patient care according to demonstrated abilities. Five to six hours a week will be spent in academic conferences including the three-hour weekly Academic Afternoon of the Family Medicine Residency in Tulsa. The majority of these conferences are available at Ramona via teleconferencing , thus avoiding travel and loss of time. Because informatics technology is playing an increasingly important role in delivery of rural health care telecommunications and telemedicine will be an integral part of the training program. The PDA is used to track resident procedures, call schedules, To Do lists etc.
Residents learn to work with and supervise physician assistants and nurse practitioners.
