Special Features
6-6-6 Fully accredited full-spectrum FM residency program with 100% board pass rate located in a unique setting-- St. Louis is nearby, but our program is in a smaller community and serves both rural and near-urban patient populations. Our main teaching hospital and residency clinics are all on the same campus, and our program allows opportunities for residents to work in FQHC and non-FQHC clinical settings. We also have many opportunities for community engagement.
