In order to accomplish the program goals, the curriculum reflects the program's philosophical dimensions. There is a balance in the education of the resident reflecting the diversity required in actual practice. The curriculum accents all three facets of family medicine activities hospital-based, office-based, and community-based. The curriculum is updated as necessary to reflect the changing requirements of the accrediting boards.
