CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
Our Three Year Curriculum
Allows You To Choose the Direction in which to Grow
First Year
As a first year resident, you develop your diagnostic and therapeutic
skills, under careful supervision, on each traditional inpatient
service. You learn the capabilities of a busy community hospital
as well as a tertiary medical center in Boston. You also care for
your own patients at the Family Medicine Center in Malden. From
the beginning, we place a strong emphasis on behavioral medicine
with seminars and weekly support groups with members of your residency
class.
Second Year
As a Second-year resident, you enter increasingly into the role
of Family Physician. Office hours increase and many of the rotations
focus on ambulatory care with opportunities to improve your procedural
skills. Your experience in your "laboratory for learning"
helps you to be an efficient, caring Family Physician. A practice
management seminar brings your class together to prepare for your
future.
Third Year
Finally, as a third-year resident, you refine your skills while
preparing for the transition to practice. Faculty advisors assist
in problem-solving. You function with more autonomy than previously.
You have the opportunity to be Chief Resident, working closely with
the full-time faculty as liaison for the residents. You will also
have the opportunity to work in a diverse variety of private family
physicians' offices to help you make choices concerning your future
career after graduation.
