| Curriculum Overview
Our Family Medicine Residency Program is designed to prepare residents for success in any practice setting. We do this by designing meaningful rotations that build your foundational skills, while preserving the maximum amount of elective rotations so that you can customize your experience. Our curriculum is strong; you will complete the program having admitted patients to the ICU, delivered babies and performed countless hospital procedures. As you progress through your second and third years of residency, we help you customize your curriculum while your time in the clinic increases. By the end of your tenure here you will have seen more than 1,500 patients and performed hundreds of office procedures, including colposcopy, ultrasounds, fracture care, and minor surgery.
In addition to their continuity clinic, our residents participate in three longitudinal experiences during the second and third years: nursing home care, community medicine, and their scholarly project. The curriculum in your second and third years will reflect your unique interests. The faculty will help you design experiences that can include international medicine, advanced obstetrics, more sports medicine, almost anything you can imagine. We have designed curricula for interests as varied as women's issues in public health, advanced hospital procedures, and even arranged for one resident to go back home and do sports medicine for her favorite college teams!
Our faculty and residents share the belief that the best physician is a well-rounded one. We balance the high standards of academic rigor with respect for your life outside of medicine. The community we have built among our attending physicians, residents, and staff makes our program incredibly supportive. We work hard together and we play hard together.

Didactics & Conferences
The Family Medicine Residency program provides a series of conferences. The goal of the conferences is to provide an environment that continues clinical learning coupled with the exchange of ideas, all related to the care of patients.
Electives
In addition to the wide range of elective rotations that we already know about, residents can create their own rotations tailored to meet their educational needs, including international and rural rotations as well as complementary and/or alternative medicine. Residents have progressively more time for electives each year of training with a great deal of flexibility in their third year.
