Residents get direct practice management experience at the Family Health Center. The supervising attending physician completes an evaluation form at the end of each rotation. During each experience faculty provide timely verbal feedback to enhance the value of that rotation. At the Family Health Center the family practice team leader audits charts and supervises the resident's patient care. At regular intervals you will meet with your advisor to discuss your progress, curriculum plans, and career planning.
Residents evaluate the teaching, rotations and other learning experiences that comprise the program.
They also work on committees with faculty members to plan and implement changes. We will help you become aware of the unique opportunities, issues and dilemmas facing today's physician, and teach you effective methods for resolving personal and professional concerns. Resident support begins the day you join Family Practice. During the first-year orientation, faculty work with new residents on risk assessment, stress reduction and fears and expectations concerning the residency. A monthly Resident Support Group, open to all residents, develops effective communication and interpersonal skills.
