Butler Memorial Hospital Program

Program Description

Butler Family Medicine Residency (Butler FMR) is an innovative, cutting-edge residency program that puts the patient-physician relationship and the Hippocratic ethos at the forefront of training. As a Clinic-First program, resident physicians maintain high continuity with their patients. Whereas the average FM resident only spends 13% of their total time in the office, residents at Butler FMR will spend more than 40% of their total residency time taking care of patients in the ambulatory setting. Residents work in care teams throughout their 3 years and will set the standard for patient care and outcomes in residency training programs. Our residents will not only be part of the Butler community, they will be part of the fabric of all of Butler County. Most residents will spend two years in a longitudinal private practice setting where they will see patients two half-days per month. These practices are in rurally-designated areas where residents will make a significant impact on the lives of those patients and their community. For residents who are pursuing fellowships, they will be able to gear their longitudinal time towards endeavors and specialties that will advance that goal, such as Palliative Care or Sports Medicine.
