The teaching and supervision of family medicine residents is, primarily, the
responsibility of the College's large, full-time faculty. These faculty
members staff the Department of Family Medicine--the largest department--and
the Departments of Behavioral and Community Medicine, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics
and Gynecology, Pediatrics, and Psychiatry/Neurology. During the three-year
Family Medicine Residency, the faculty oversees resident training in both hospital
and ambulatory care. To ensure adequate clinical experiences, a team-oriented
call schedule, which leaves residents free for two weekends each month, is arranged.
