How does our program compare to university based versus community based programs?
We are officially a university based program, but we enjoy many benefits found within community programs. We have a small overall number of housestaff in our system. This allows us little to no competition for patient management and procedures. Family Medicine residents do almost all of our own procedures and manage our own ICU patients. We know almost all housestaff personally and create good friendships with residents in all specialties. Although many of our rotations are within the university hospital system, we spend a lot of time working in various clinics, hospitals, and areas within the community.
