About the Program


Residents gain the knowledge necessary to function as independent family physicians as they proceed through the three-year curriculum. Through lectures, consultation with our excellent specialits, formal reading assignments, discussion with faculty, and (most importantly) managing their own patients, residents continually expand their knowledge base.
