Family Medicine Service: A large part of your inpatient training occurs on our family medicine service at Atrium Health Cabarrus. Here we provide true full spectrum care. Residents will see anything from moms with high risk pregnancies, newborns on up to ICU patients on any given day. The patients we care for are all established patients from our 4 Cabarrus Family Medicine (CFM) residency offices, providing excellent continuity for our patients. You will learn from a mix of family medicine hospitalists, full scope family medicine attendings, specialists and pharm D’s.
Outpatient Family Medicine Training: The bulk of your outpatient training occurs through your family medicine practice (FMP). Clinic half-days range from one to five per week, depending on post-graduate year and rotation. Residents learn how to manage their own patient panels and participate in team-based office initiatives to improve health outcomes for our patients. As junior partners, residents are actively involved in provider meetings and are encouraged to provide input into practice management decisions.
We have a created a unique model of “internal referral clinics” during which we bring the specialists to our family medicine offices to provide additional concentrated training opportunities. These include: travel medicine, dermatology and gynecology.
Residents also see patients at our local health department and several community clinics dedicated to underserved members of our community.
Flexible Training: Residents have a significant elective time, allowing them to tailor their training. We are proud to have been a national leader in creating areas of concentration (AOC) for residents who have a particular focus they want to embrace during residency. AOCs can be tailored to the resident’s individual goals. Past examples include travel medicine, women’s health, community medicine, and palliative care among others. We also provide a obstetrics and sports medicine tracks for interested residents.
Didactic Series: The residents come together each Wednesday afternoon for lunch, fellowship and teaching from 1 - 5 p.m. During this time, they also have resident support group and time to meet with their advisors. Conferences include a series of dynamic teaching sessions led by a balance of family medicine faculty, specialist faculty, residents and outside speakers. We have many small group activities and some fun games and competitions... all in the spirit of learning, of course!
