This network represents a rich and varied resource for our housestaff program. We continue to add training sites each year, many of which are staffed by our own program graduates. The following paragraphs depict a sampling of our major clinic sites. The Adult Primary Care Clinic at UMass is a major training site for resident continuity clinics. The philosophy at this site is to create an environment that encourages residents to develop their own patient panel.
Residents gain increasing degrees of autonomy, but always with adequate support.
Dedicated preceptors and support staff are always present. This university-based clinic offers a heterogeneous patient population, and full access to the hospital medical informatics and ancillary services. This site provides a continuity experience for 30 residents in a comfortable and representative office setting. It is located within a 5-minute drive from the University and Memorial campuses. The clinic serves as a training site for both residents and medical students.
