Med-Peds Primary Care Continuity Clinics

Exposure to Primary Care is an essential component of our educational program that is relevant to all residents whether they ultimately pursue careers in Primary Care, Hospital Medicine, or subspecialty practice.

Our residents attend continuity clinic at least one-half day per week, with additional weekly clinics possible during certain rotations. As part of their continuity clinic experience, residents build their own patient panels, which allows for independence and continuity of care. Residents are exposed to a variety of patient visits including preventive care, well-child exams, acute sick visits, and management of chronic illness in medically complex adults and children. Our practices serve our local communities to provide care for patients from a diverse array of socio-economic, racial, and cultural backgrounds.

We have three distinct Med-Peds clinic sites in the community, located offsite from our main medical campus. Each site is a fully integrated Med-Peds practice, staffed by Med-Peds trained faculty. Faculty support for our residents is extraordinary and includes mentorship for clinical and personal growth and development. Experiences in our Med-Peds clinics provide opportunities to not only learn outstanding clinical care, but also develop an understanding of local and community resources to promote the health of our patients more broadly. Our clinic sites have additional support staff and programs, including nutrition, social work, pharmacist, care management, and behavioral health. We focus on a multidisciplinary approach to provide the best care to our patients and our residents have opportunities to work with these services throughout their training.

Ambulatory Care

Distinct from our robust continuity clinic experiences, our residents participate in Med-Peds ambulatory rotations to complement the ambulatory experiences offered in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. These unique rotations consist of experiences identified by our residents and faculty as essential to the practice of Med-Peds, irrespective of field of practice. During these rotations, residents also spend additional time in their assigned continuity clinic continuing to hone their clinical skills, understanding of clinic flow, and management of patients with multidisciplinary clinical services. Our residents are scheduled for four full Med-Peds ambulatory blocks throughout residency training.
