Mercy Hospital (St Louis) Program

Program Description

The Family Medicine Residency at Mercy St. Louis is a university-affiliated program sponsored by a large, active community teaching hospital. It offers an optional fourth year of training in an area of concentration. The Family Medicine program is accredited by the ACGME with Osteopathic Recognition. he faculty and residents practice team-based care side-by-side in one of two continuity clinics, one of which is located in an urban underserved area. Education is provided in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings. The program utilizes the "Clinic First" standard, progressively modeling the role of a practicing family physician. Our Family Medicine inpatient service is integrated, meaning our residents care for laboring & postpartum patients, newborns, children and adults on the same service, modeling quintessential family medicine. The second post-graduate year particularly emphasizes community health through a variety of rotational experiences, state advocacy and a class retreat.
