Primary Care Residency Program
Community Primary Care Teaching Practices
|
The program maintains a strong relationship with 10 primary care practices in and around Waterbury and New Haven as part of our community-based teaching program. These practices represent a wide range of settings, from rural, to suburban, to inner city community health centers. The community-based preceptors have clinical appointments at the Yale School of Medicine and recognition by the American College of Physicians for their teaching. Residents spend 7-8 half-days per week in the office, leaving only for their own continuity clinic and the Friday morning ambulatory curriculum. The primary preceptor facilitates the residents' supervision, integration into the practice, participation in night call, rounding on inpatients, nursing home visits, and exposure to office management and finances. The associate program director for ambulatory education maintains the office-based experiences with regular site visits, curriculum development, faculty development, and written evaluations.
