Education Objectives

This program shapes young physicians to become the best family medicine physicians they can be. The faculty and staff at IU School of Medicine accomplish this by going beyond teaching physicians to be competent through the ACGME milestones of family medicine, as exemplified through the program aims:

  • To train residents to practice the full scope and breadth of family medicine in a community hospital setting.
  • To prepare residents to recognize and meet the needs of rural and underserved patients with a focus on social determinants of health.
  • To develop residents into physicians who deliver high quality care with compassion, empathy, and respect for others.
  • To produce residents who find value in practicing medicine with collaboration among the full healthcare team.
  • To instill in residents the importance of life-long learning, process improvement, and scholarly activity in the practice of medicine.
