The cornerstone of family practice is the outpatient clinic. Each resident physician has a panel of patients that he or she follows in clinic.
Residents progressively add more clinic days as they gain more experience.
3 half-days per week. On-Call Schedule Being on call is a way of life for a family physician and is a way of life for a resident physician as well. All residents rotate through the call schedule, and all residents remain in the hospital while on call. Residents are on call in the nighttime hours Monday through Friday, and all day on Saturday and Sunday. Each of the two hospitals where we admit patients will have a first-year resident on call.
