Rotation Schedule
Our residency curriculum emphasizes outpatient care. Rotations and didactic materials are focused on clinic and clinical presentations in the clinic. We train residents to provide as much care as possible, minimizing patient cost and travel. Residents complete a one-month rotation in the resident clinic and with the rural community clinic in Bluffton, Ohio during the PGY-1 and PGY-2 years. This is in addition to weekly continuity clinic time.
We are a group of supportive faculty with experience in academics and full-time clinical practice. We understand the rigors associated with graduate medical education. Our program curriculum incorporates physician wellness, leadership and evidence-based learning to help each learner to be successful in residency, personal life and future professional life. The curriculum emphasizes outpatient care with rotations and didactic materials. Family Medicine residents have the opportunity to participate with rural community clinics that provide an additional learning experience in outpatient care.
