  Description

  POSITION SUMMARY:

  Family Medicine Residency is a medical training program that focuses on preparing physicians to provide comprehensive, continuous, and coordinated care to individuals and families across their lifespans. It is a 3-year graduate medical education program that provides hands-on experience and clinical training in a variety of healthcare settings, including primary care clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, and community health centers.

  Family Medicine Residency programs aim to equip physicians with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to practice patient-centered care and provide care to patients with a range of acute and chronic health conditions.
