Program Curriculum
A comprehensive three-year curriculum teaches our residents what they need to know for successful practice. Our program allows adequate flexibility to develop enhanced training and experience in areas of personal interest. Our residents develop expertise in population health and understand the challenges and dynamics of serving rural, medically underserved populations. Our faculty are committed to model and to teach work-life balance and include a longitudinal curriculum on physician wellness.
Our goal is to produce excellent family physicians who will be advocates for their patients and will be professional leaders in their hospitals and communities.
