The Family Practice Residency Program at San Joaquin General Hospital began in 1973. With seven residents in each year, the program is one of four residencies at the hospital. The others are in Internal Medicine, Surgery and a Transitional Program.
The basic educational objective of the Family Practice program is to develop progressive outpatient and inpatient competence with particular attention to ambulatory medicine. The curriculum meets all accrediting criteria and provides enough flexibility to meet individual resident needs. Graduates of the program have gone on to participate in all practice styles: private practice, family practice groups, multi-specialty groups, HMO, rural practice, etc. They have taken their skills to diverse population centers ranging from rural northern California to large urban and suburban areas. Graduate surveys indicate that the training received in the San Joaquin General Hospital Family Practice Residency Program has provided the postgraduate experience needed for success in these varied settings.
Both the educational and clinical components of this residency are designed to provide maximum opportunities for "hands-on" learning and delivery of patient care while at the same time giving each resident ready access to attending supervision in both the ambulatory and inpatient setting. This assures the development of appropriate confidence and competence as residents progress through the program.
