Welcome! The Department of Family and Community Medicine has been providing excellence in resident training for more than 40 years. We offer two unique, separately-accredited family medicine residency tracks—the Alvernon and the South Campus tracks. Residents enjoy clinical medicine and clinical research opportunities, numerous fellowship and advanced degree programs, excellent benefits and a diverse and talented faculty. Both tracks offer a strong and busy inpatient experience, outpatient practices with diverse and underserved populations, point-of-care ultrasound training (POCUS), dedicated refugee clinics, and the option to participate in the Health Care Disparities/Medical Spanish Distinction Track.
Please note, if you want to apply to both tracks, you must apply to each one separately, using their unique ERAS IDs.

With mild winters and bearable summers, hiking, cycling, and various outdoor activities are possible year-round.
