Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the Mercy Health Fairfield Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program located?
We are located at 2960 Mack Road, Suite 110, Fairfield, OH, 45014.
How are residents supervised in the Family Medicine Residency Clinic?
PGY-1 residents require direct supervision from an attending physician for all patient encounters in the first 6 months. As residents transition into their PGY-2 and PGY-3 years, they acquire graduated autonomy and responsibility in decision-making depending on the visit type and resident progress.
How many patients do residents see per half-day in the Family Medicine Residency Clinic?
PGY-1 residents start with 4 patients per half day and increase every 6 months with an additional patient over the course of their 3-year residency.
Do residents help with teaching of medical students?
Medical education is an integral part of our residency program. PGY-1 residents can begin to help with teaching medical students; however, medical students will usually work with PGY-2 and PGY-3 residents.
