Hear what some of our residents have to say about the program:
“This is the best place to be trained to become a family physician. The program mainly focuses on rural communities, but it also fully prepares you to practice in all settings. This place feels like home, surrounded by highly competent faculty, supportive colleagues, knowledgeable peers, and friendly staff. It has the perfect work-life balance, which means I can come home and spend time with my family. And not to mention the breathtaking views of the mountains which help relax your mind from the daily hustle.”
– Dr. Mufish Shaikh, PGY-2
“I love this program because a residency program is only as good as its people – and the people here are a family, watching out for one another and doing the good work we are called to do.”
– Dr. Jeff Carter, PGY-3
“Our program sets a strong foundation in family medicine but allows you to focus on your career goals with great mentorship from the faculty and staff, which always have your best interests in mind.”
– Dr. Laura Hernandez-Cruz, PGY-3
