Community Medicine

Community Medicine is a highlight of our residency program. Our residents have found that their experiences with the community remain some of the most impactful moments in their educational journey. Community responsive healthcare and service to the community are important parts of patient care and resident education at All Saints Family Medicine Residency Program. Our award winning community medicine program is thriving and successful. A full-time community nurse allows our program to continue to grow. As part of your residency education you will have the opportunity to participate in existing community medicine programs throughout your three years with us, as well as have the opportunity to use your skills and interests to create new programs.

• Routine home visits for complicated patients
