The Partnership A partnership of two residents assumes responsibilities for one resident position on inpatient rotations. This allows for increased family practice clinic time and permits more flexibility in scheduling time off. The partnership also provides valuable social, emotional, and professional support. Partnerships are an excellent model for future practice and promoting an active exchange of ideas with a close colleague. Our program is a dynamic program, seeking continuous improvement based on resident feedback.
Residents participate meaningfully on all department committees.
A one-month orientation develops skills in telephone medicine, casting, suturing and FP topics while building partnerships. Enjoy the Ozarks at the midyear weekend retreat. The partnership contributes to time off for family and personal needs. Moonlighting opportunities are available second and third year. During the past five years, a U.S. News and World Report survey of medical faculty rated us among the top three family practice programs.
