Tufts University FMR Cambridge Health Alliance
CHA is an integrated, safety-net health system with a patient population unique in its diversity being made up of various immigrant populations with over 35% of patients speaking a primary language other than English. Our local High school is the most diverse in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with over 80 different languages are spoken there. Last year our clinic had close to 60,000 visits with approximately 80% of patients being covered by state or federally funded health insurance.
Our residents become expert outpatient clinicians, understanding the unique and sophisticated skills needed in primary care. Our clinic is our curriculum and is recognized as a NCQA Level 3 (highest rank) Patient-Centered Medical Home. We develop strong and nuanced skills in team development, collaboration and leadership needed for effective team-based care
We support adult learners with clear learning goals. A robust information mastery curriculum creates a culture of evidence-based medicine, and a rigorous collection of didactics and clinical experiences backed by a sophisticated assessment system puts the learner in the driver’s seat.
Each resident graduates with advanced training in a self-selected area of interest within family medicine, including women’s health, addiction, adolescent and pediatrics, inpatient, geriatrics, integrative, sports, palliative care, PCMH, community health and academic medicine.
