Program Description: 

This three-year residency program is affiliated with Temple University School of Medicine and fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The residency program is a supportive environment in which to grow as a family physician. The program also serves as a satellite teaching site for Temple and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) students in their third and fourth years of medical school. This program is the only residency at Saint Francis Hospital.

Every resident is assigned to a mentor at the start of residency training. The mentor is faculty member who meets regularly with the resident to discuss his/her progress. Monthly goals are discussed, and as the resident moves through the three-year program, there is often a personal bond which develops. The resident has a role model with which to discuss a wide variety of issues.

The Family Practice Center is housed in the Medical Service Building adjacent to the main hospital. Its convenient location provides residents with direct access to their inpatients for care. The Family Practice Center was built specifically to meet the needs of the teaching program. It utilizes a successfully implemented electronic health records (EHR), and every patient room and consult room is equipped with computers for EHR.
