Curriculum

The curriculum of the AHEC-NW Family Medicine Residency Program is designed to assure that our residents will become the best family physicians possible. We feel strongly that it should be the resident who decides which limits to place on his or her future practice rather than these limits be the result of a lack of available learning experience at the residency program. The faculty of this residency is committed to providing an opportunity in which residents can learn the skills which will be important in their future practices. Our residents, therefore, have the opportunity to learn at their discretion, procedures such as D & C, tubal ligation, colposcopy, vasectomy, colonoscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). In addition, our training in medicine, obstetrics and pediatrics is excellent. Our curriculum is structured as follows:

CLINICS:

First Year: two 1/2 day clinics per week in the Family Medicine Center

Second Year: three 1/2 day clinics per week in the Family Medicine Center

Third Year: four 1/2 day clinics per week in the Family Medicine Center
