Residents identify a community, make a community diagnosis, and develop an intervention. Electives A full range of elective offerings is available. Conferences The Rose Residency has weekly conferences addressing problems frequently seen in family practice. An 18 month schedule covers core topics, which are primarily ambulatory and taught by family physicians. Daily ambulatory conferences occur prior to resident continuity clinics and are frequently led by residents.
Residents also have the opportunity to attend conferences when assigned to specialty rotations.
All residents are encouraged to pursue an academic interest during their three years in the residency. This may be a special project such as setting up a community outreach program, drafting patient education materials, or implementing a continuing education program. Faculty are eager to assist residents with these pursuits.
