Our mission is to train and educate family physician leaders with the necessary tools to succeed across the spectrum of family medicine and with a special focus on caring for underserved patients and communities. Our training emphasizes the following:
- Acquisition of primary care-centered procedural skills
- Development of critical thinking skills and medical decision making
- Excellence in the care of complex and medically vulnerable patients

Our program offers the opportunity to care for a diverse patient population in a variety of circumstances, promoting teamwork, leadership and a commitment to both prevention and healing of illness and disease. Our faculty are dedicated to teaching our residents so that they graduate confident in their ability to provide high-quality clinical care as they forge a satisfying and durable medical career in the field of family medicine and community health.
During the three years of training, our residents meet milestones in their education and professional growth as their knowledge and wisdom evolve.
