Family Medicine

Every week, half-day teaching conferences provide learning opportunities for family medicine residents on a wide variety of topics. Conferences include lectures from faculty, senior residents and guest attendings from other specialties.

To keep residents healthy, monthly support groups are integrated into the didactic schedule.

With the guidance of a faculty mentor, you will:

• Complete a scholarly activity project
• Participate in quality improvement at our residency-affiliated FQHC, SAC Health.

Workshops held throughout the year allow interns and seniors to practice running code blues and managing obstetric emergencies and deliveries.
