Resident program FAQ
Residents are licensed physicians who have completed medical school and are now going through specialized medical training in a particular field of medicine. In this case, the field of medicine is family medicine. They work under the supervision of experienced faculty physicians, providing direct medical care to patients.
There are several benefits to seeking care from our family medicine resident physicians.
- You have access to same-day or next-day appointments.
- The resident physicians spend time with you at your appointment, getting to know you and your health goals. You'll never feel rushed.
- Instead of one physician evaluating and caring for you, you get a second opinion when the resident physician discusses your care plan with the faculty physician.
- Family medicine resident physicians care for people of all ages and in all stages of life, for a variety of health care needs. Whether you are feeling sick, have a chronic health condition or you visit the doctor once a year to check up on your health, our resident physicians can care for you.
- You are participating in the training of new family medicine physicians and contributing to the future of medicine and improving access to health care.
