We prepare residents to be complete family physicians. Residents have the resources of an academic center yet the individualized training of a community setting. Faculty teach & model highest standards of patient-centered care, teaching, and scholarship. There are broad learning opportunities in scholarship, rural medicine, and in serving the medically underserved. We value diversity, teamwork, balance, and the honor of being a family physician.
