Our board-certified family physicians provide direct patient care and serve as faculty for our physicians in training. Our resident physicians are selected from among the best graduates of approved medical schools. In both the clinic and the hospital, supervising faculty physicians provide oversight for residents caring for patients. Resident physicians are assigned patients that they follow as they progress through their three years of training. Research has shown that patients at teaching hospitals receive the highest level of care.
