Family Medicine Residency Overview
Ellis' Family Medicine Residency focuses on maintaining a highly supportive resident-centered atmosphere to promote excellent care for our high-needs patient population. Our diverse faculty enable residents to spearhead comprehensive outpatient care which includes complicated disease management, addiction, HIV/viral hepatitis, women’s health, point-of-care ultrasound, osteopathic manipulation, and procedures. As a single Residency Program site, trainees develop ownership over a culturally-diverse population. Residents build personal relationships with specialists and perform procedures as the only residents on intensive care (adult and neonatal), labor and delivery, inpatient medicine, and numerous subspecialties. Utilizing excellent mentor support, residents are empowered to hone unique interests and plan career goals. The program produces holistic physicians, many of whom immediately enter primary care or hospital medicine in the area.
Highlights:
- Single program site in large community hospital
- Resident-focused family mentality
- Comprehensive pre-clinical orientation month
