Rural Family Medicine Residency
Program Mission Statement
The Rural Family Medicine Residency prepares physicians to independently and competently practice full-spectrum family medicine. We accomplish this by providing a patient-centered medical home to all in our community, especially underserved minorities identified by income, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity. We strive to offer a diverse and inclusive clinical team of faculty, residents, and staff whose experiences and perspectives enhance the quality of our training, our care, and the lives of our patients.
