We are a university-based residency program whose mission is to train and empower the next generation of family medicine leaders and educators to provide broad spectrum, team-based care in diverse communities and practice settings. We support intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and connectedness in a nurturing, individualized, and challenging learning environment that fosters a spirit of inquiry and self-reflection.
