The curriculum of the Family Medicine Residency at Ball Memorial Hospital encompasses the traditional ACGME requirements and allows residents the flexibility to create a personalized educational experience.
Tracks are offered to maximize preparation for future practice while providing well-rounded training. Residents will select a track around March of their PGY 1 year. Each track will meet the minimum requirements of the ACGME and ABFM.
Our Standard Track will be for physicians who are interested in learning full-spectrum family medicine. The track will be highly focused on continuity practice (with a stretch goal of 2,000+ patients).
