We serve approximately 10,000 patients who visit the center 18,000 times per year, providing an excellent practice for residency training. The patient population presents a balanced mix of medical concerns, economic and cultural groups, and ages. Other Training Sites Residents see patients in a variety of settings, including skilled nursing facilities. We also have a teaching nursing home service at Franciscan Care and Rehabilitation Center, a 215-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility. Here, residents assume responsibility for their own panel of patients, with supervision and on-site teaching provided by our faculty geriatrician, who is also the facility's medical director.
Residents also participate in clinical learning sessions in many other settings.
These may include the Fox Valley Planned Parenthood Clinic, community schools, a homeless shelter, a domestic abuse shelter, a free clinic, AODA and psychiatric treatment programs and Appleton Police and Health departments.
