Mission statement
The Milwaukee based Family Medicine Residency Program is future-focused and continuously seeking to grow our resident/faculty family into one that better represents the community we serve. We engage with system data on clinical quality and patient experience to improve health equity for our diverse underserved community. We consider ourselves advocates for our patients, for ourselves, and for each other.
Overview
Established in 1974, the Aurora Family Medicine Residency program offers flexibility at a large institution with extensive resources and faculty. With special strengths in population health, community medicine, in-patient services, integrative medicine and research, the dually-accredited (allopathic/osteopathic) program provides an excellent opportunity for residents to be well trained in all areas.
Residents choose their continuity office experience at either Aurora Sinai Family Care Center or Aurora St. Luke’s Family Practice Center. All residents have the same residency curriculum and rotation requirements, including longitudinal continuity clinic opportunities. Residents also have rotations and volunteer activities available at three additional residency clinics.
Purpose
Our program goal is to produce family physicians that will excel in whatever position they choose to pursue following their three years with us. We do this by:
- Continually assessing and improving our programs to provide the best care for our patients and the best training environment for our residents and faculty.
- Creating a collaborative, team-based and supportive learning environment that promotes and encourages resident scholarship.
- Approaching our patients and each other as whole people, using integrative and holistic approaches to care.
- Serving a diverse population, including the underserved and vulnerable populations in our neighborhoods.
Curriculum
All residents have the same residency curriculum and rotation requirements, including longitudinal continuity clinic opportunities in integrative medicine, underserved medicine and obstetrics. The program also provides ample time for electives.
