We try to have at least three Richmond sites available for each rotation. Students at these locations live at home. One of VCU's six Family Practice residency programs, Blackstone Family Practice is in a rural setting one hour south of Richmond. Students work with residents and attending faculty. Some time is spent at Farmville Hospital and the health department, but the majority of patient encounters occur at the practice.
Students additionally participate in noontime and teaching conferences.
One of VCU's six Family Practice residency programs, Chesterfield Family Practice is located in suburban south side Richmond. Students work with residents and faculty. Inpatient rounding occurs at Chippenham Hospital. Students participate in noontime and teaching conferences. This is considered a Richmond site.
