    Program Description

    Our Family Medicine Residency Program is based in Asheville, NC. We are nestled in a thriving city in the heart of Western North Carolina, surrounding by many beautiful, rural communities. Our program offers broad-scope family medicine training rooted in our Clinic First curricular model; this allows us to emphasize continuity of care for physicians and patients in our Family Health Center. Highlights for our program include high-volume inpatient and outpatient pediatrics and community need-focused training opportunities, including, but not limited to, addiction medicine, care for the homeless, contraception, reproductive health, and extensive outpatient procedures.
