The major focus of the EMMC Family Practice Residency Program is to train residents to practice in rural settings. In order to accomplish this, the curriculum is designed to address specific aspects of medical care in rural populations. The EMMC Family Practice Residency Program prides itself in allowing residents to choose the direction of their education.
Residents have ample time to choose a variety of rotations to enhance and broaden their horizons.
The enclosed insert contains the required block rotations and elective time available during the three year program. In addition to the required rotations, residents are responsible for the outpatient and inpatient care of their family practice center patients. The residents and faculty are divided into three patient care teams providing continuity of care for patients and facilitating resident's participation on their scheduled rotations. Although most rotations are reasonably demanding, at EMMC we recognize the need to balance experience with education. Therefore, residents' schedules allow sufficient time for discussion of interesting cases.
