How are resident supervised in the Family Medicine Practice (FMP)?

PGY-1 residents, in their first six months of residency, see four patients per half day. During the second six months of PGY-1 year, residents see six patient per half day. From the PGY-2 year, residents will see eight patients per half day. Eventually, in PGY-3 year, resident will see up to 10 patients per half day.

Medical education is an integral part of our residency program. PGY-1 residents in the second half of their first year can begin to help with teaching medical students; however, medical students will usually work with PGY-2 and PGY-3 residents.
