The goal of our residency program is to provide a coherent, organized, integrated, and progressive educational experience for the graduating medical student who wishes to become a well-rounded family physician. We are a university program based at community hospitals. Our university character gives us an academic dimension and resources that support the resident who wants to expand his or her educational horizons. Our community placement keeps us in contact with physicians in everyday practice and with the primary care needs of patients. The program is a blend of pragmatic clinical training, critical analysis, and evidence-based practice.
