    Program Description

    The mission of the Family Medicine Residency Program at Aiken Regional is to train competent, compassionate and conscientious physicians in the full scope of family medicine practice. The program includes training that will have a strong emphasis on professionalism, teamwork and evidence-based practice; residents will receive their training in a nurturing environment that focuses on well-being and all-around development as a family medicine physician. Upon conclusion of training, residents will have the knowledge and experience needed to bridge the gaps in care wherever they choose to practice, whether that’s within Aiken County and the surrounding areas or other parts of the state or country. Should graduates choose to practice in other areas of the state or country, their practice will be a reflection of the quality of education within our program and values encouraged in our setting.
