Family Medicine Curriculum

Our curriculum is designed around the outpatient clinic experience in order to emphasize high-quality outpatient training. We also have a very strong inpatient service and provide maternity care. PGY-1 residents typically spend one half-day per week in the clinic on hospital rotations, along with several dedicated clinic blocks when they are in their continuity clinic full time. During the PGY-2 year, clinic time increases to 3-4 half-day clinics on most rotations, and PGY-3 residents are typically in the clinic four half-day sessions per week. Clinic templates are designed to give residents consistent clinic days to promote continuity with their patients.
