Special Features
We are a Teaching Health Center that provides training for rural practice in a FQHC. Residents live and work in one progressive mountain community for all 3 years. Residents are junior colleagues, empowered to shape a dynamic curriculum based on personal goals. Our work is community oriented to vulnerable rural patients and migrant farmworkers. We emphasize leadership and advocacy in a true full scope training with a track record for producing faculty, OB fellows, and full-spectrum physicians.
