Scholarly Development

The crux of family medicine is patient-care. For that reason, our resident scholarship requirements are geared towards tangible outcomes in our daily patients. Each resident will participate in an on-going quality project that focuses on either our clinic, hospital or community patient base. Examples of past projects include:

  • Disease screening (pap smears, mammograms, colonoscopies) 

  • Diabetes management 

  • Coronary artery disease management 

  • Well child visits 

  • COPD and asthma management 

  • Advanced Care Planning

  • Providing RESPITE: Residents Expressing the Stresses of the Profession in a Therapeutic Environment

  • Inpatient Hospice

  • Medicare Wellness Visits 

  • C. difficile infection control 

  • Post Op Respiratory Failure

  • Overcoming Barriers: Successful Management of an Uninsured Patient with a Displaced Clavicle Fracture
