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 occurs in the outpatient clinic and led by a faculty member. Each resident will join a hospital quality Improvement team, also led by a faculty member, that aims to target issues in our hospital.
