Family and Community Medicine

"There is no way around this fact," wrote a group of family medicine leaders:
scholarly activity is "requisite" activity for family physicians.

Our fellowship programs are committed to developing the scholarship of our fellows in order to advance their careers, promote our department's vision of excellence, and improve patient care. Listed below are the programs we offer with additional information on individual web pages (see links on the left):
