Our curriculum is designed to teach residents how to
practice in a Patient-centered Medical Home (PCMH). The
Family Medicine Center (FMC) functions as the centerpiece
for the curriculum and has been restructured to serve as a
PCMH for our diverse patient population. During the course
of the three years, residents spend an increasing amount of
time in the FMC on their FMC/Longitudinal Curriculum rotations
learning practice management, evidence based medicine, performance
improvement, advanced interviewing skills, and team leadership skills.
Residents also learn how to conduct email visits utilizing our electronic
health record which has an integrated patient portal. Additionally, residents are taught how to conduct group visits under the supervision of our faculty. The longitudinal curriculum is integrated into these rotations and covers Dermatology, Medical Subspecialties, Surgical Subspecialties as well as experiences in Community Medicine, Alternative and Complementary Medicine, and Psychiatry/Addiction Medicine.
Research
The research curriculum spans all three years. Residents attend a series of research seminars that teach critical journal analysis and research design. During the first year, the residents choose an area of interest and develop a research question. In the second year, residents write a research proposal. During the third year, residents refine their proposals, complete their projects, and present them to the residency. Residents also have a monthly Journal Club.
