Our program is committed to training Family Physicians who respond to people’s needs and desires to have a personal physician who knows them and will stick with them, while embracing science and technology in practice to improve patient outcomes.
As Family
Physicians, we care for people from conception to death, throughout a lifetime
of physical conditions, transitions and illnesses. We believe strongly in the
biopsychosocial model of patient care, and we select residents with a similar
commitment.
The basis for Family Medicine training at Guthrie is a comprehensive approach to
family care in an atmosphere that supports residents and focuses on their
specific educational needs. Our diverse faculty includes physicians and nurse
practitioners with a wide variety of interests and strengths. A strong component
of our program is the one-on-one guidance provided to Guthrie residents by
faculty physicians. Their expertise and support are invaluable, as residents
learn and grow throughout their three years here.
Family Medicine Residency at Guthrie is rigorous and challenging. We believe the very broad-based training we provide is the best preparation for Family Medicine. We take a special interest in evidence based medicine, obstetrics, rural health care, sports medicine, practice management and inpatient medicine. Our residents participate as members of a health care team. As an entire practice group, we participate in Balint training, which is an innovative approach to developing an understanding of the doctor-patient relationship through group process and self-examination.
We ask a lot of our residents: proficiency in a full range of office procedures and advanced cardiac life support, the management of common medical problems, and surgical and family-centered childbirth skills. In return we give them the opportunity to care for our patients in a technologically advanced setting, while working with a team of outstanding physicians who create a supportive environment of personalized attention - in short, the best of graduate Family Medicine medical education.
