Welcome from the director
Welcome to the Ascension Resurrection Family Medicine Residency Program. We were established in 1977 and have trained generations of outstanding family medicine physicians. Our program strives to challenge each resident, give them the opportunity to individualize their training, and instill the confidence they need to transition to independent practice. Our graduates have gone on to pursue fellowships or start careers ranging from private practice, large group practices, rural medicine, and teaching in academic medicine.
Being in one of America's greatest cities, we have the unique opportunity to treat patients of all cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. We are a community hospital with deep roots in our neighborhood. Our residents work in collaboration with residents from our Emergency Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology and Transitional Year programs. Our physicians see patients in the hospital, our outpatient clinic, nursing homes, home visits and outpatient specialty clinics. This diverse training experience teaches our residents not only the skills necessary to diagnose and treat disease, but how to inspire quality of life in their patients. We value our patients and the opportunity to serve them.
Our Family Medicine Residency Program is a true family, with dedicated faculty and staff committed to teaching residents and students in an engaging and supportive environment. As the Program Director, my goal is to create a learning environment that supports academic excellence, hard work, and the growth of our physicians. I invite you to learn more about our program and join our team.
For this year’s upcoming recruitment season, we will be offering both in-person and virtual interviews. We hope that our format will provide you with helpful insight into what life is like as a resident physician at Ascension Resurrection. Our goal will be to get to know you, to capture the supportive family atmosphere here at Ascension Resurrection, and to highlight the opportunities for rigorous and comprehensive training. Historically, the “feel” of your interview day was a compilation of your in-person experiences with us, and we truly hope we capture that with our virtual interview experience. We are excited to get to know you.
