Overview
Our curriculum includes rigorous inpatient training, in which junior residents are closely supervised by senior residents and faculty, gaining progressive autonomy over the 3 years of residency.
Our philosophy
We believe that robust inpatient training is critical for Family Physicians to be prepared to manage chronic conditions, slow disease progression, and support patients’ goals of care. We highly value patient-provider continuity and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Our hospital
Our FM service is located at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, a longstanding hospital in West Philadelphia, beloved for its intimate “community hospital” feel. Residents develop close relationships with nursing, social work and specialist teams throughout their residency.
Our training
- Management of "bread and butter" conditions like CHF, COPD, sepsis, stroke, chest pain, PE, and addiction medicine
- Point-of-care ultrasound
- Management of rapid responses
