I decided to switch from the categorical program to PCPC for a couple of reasons. The most salient of which was the community in PCPC. PCPC is filled with mentors who care about your professional and your personal growth. Because you spend every other month with a smaller cohort of coresidents and the PCPC attendings, you really get to know each other so well. Because of this time together everyone grows into a family. The other main reason I chose to join was for the continuity with my patients. Having an available clinic every other month means you really get the chance to know your panel of patients and provide the longitudinal care that is the beauty of Primary Care.
PCPC was the best decision I made in residency and I am so grateful to be a part of this wonderful family of physicians. – Nicole Scaramella, MD
The primary care track has been the ideal balance of training between inpatient and outpatient for me. After intern year, I felt confident inside the hospital but not in the clinic, so I have welcomed expanded outpatient training in PGY-2 and PGY-3 years for my own growth as a general medicine physician.The fact that the primary care track has its own training clinic means my colleagues and mentors are sharing the same emphasis and goals on ambulatory medicine. It feels great to come "home" every other month to the PCPC community! – Michael Wang, MD
I love how close-knit the PCPC family is and the flexibility and opportunity it provides to prepare for an outpatient career in primary care (or for me, in subspecialty care as an oncologist!) – Kaitlin Demarest
PCPC is a family within larger internal medicine program. You have the ability to have more balanced training with outpatient time. You also have a more well rounded ambulatory experience overall and in subspecialty training that is applicable to both those who are primary care and subspeciality bound – Sarah Syed
