Curriculum
Diverse Clinical Experiences
We train lifelong, adaptive learners who are prepared to work in any future environment. Our longitudinal curriculum effectively simulates the day-to-day experience of a full-spectrum family medicine physician, filled with variety of experiences and patient encounters.
Continuity Clinic
The heart of our curriculum is the Family Medicine Residency Center, where residents will practice four half-days per week all three years. Residents will learn how to care for patients of all ages, varying from wellness visits to management of complex medical conditions.
From Day 1, residents will integrate time in the clinic with mini-blocks and longitudinal rotations, giving variety to their days and simulating their future practice in a rural environment.
