Our Goal – We strive to educate Family Physicians who will be excellent clinicians in communities where primary care physicians are needed to practice at the highest level of their training. Our area specifically, and rural communities in general, need FPs who are excellent outpatient physicians, but who are also capable to care for sick patients in the hospital, deliver babies, and work in the emergency room. All Family Medicine residency programs are required to follow the curriculum guidelines specified in the ACGME Program Requirements for Graduate Medical Education in Family Medicine. What sets our program apart from some others is that being unopposed means that our residents get to train in a community where the focus is solely to educate Family Physicians. They get the benefit of treating a wide variety of patients in a rural regional medical center and having their continuity clinic as part of a long established and well respected Federally Qualified Health Center.
