The variety of cases and primary care emphasis provides a training experience that mirrors true family practice. The all-inclusive inpatient service teaches family medicine in a real world environment. There are 15 months of IPS call during three years of training. During two of the IPS call months, residents focus specifically on the fields of pediatric inpatient medicine and neonatal intensive care. IPS call is one day in four.
Residents also spend two-three days in the office per week during each call month.
Community medicine and practice management are also important curricular elements, which are integrated into the three year residency experience. The program matches six residents each year. Our faculty includes six full time, and two part time residency-trained family physicians, a psychologist, a nurse practitioner and a physician assistant.
