Fostering Comprehensive Family Medicine Skills in Our Continuity Clinic

Our resident-run continuity clinic is the heart of your outpatient training, providing an invaluable environment to cultivate your family medicine and outpatient pediatrics skills. Located in the greater Norristown area, our clinic serves a diverse patient population spanning the entire lifespan, from newborns to geriatrics. You will have the unique opportunity to manage entire families, fostering deep, long-term relationships and understanding the complex dynamics of family health. We care for patients from all ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, with a significant portion of our patient population speaking Spanish at home. We are deeply committed to serving underserved patients and actively collaborate with community resources to ensure all our patients’ needs are comprehensively met.

As an intern (PGY-1), you will dedicate a half-day per week to seeing continuity patients in the residency clinic. Initially, you will have an hour allotted for each appointment, gradually transitioning to a schedule more akin to that of an attending physician by the end of your intern year. During your PGY-2 and PGY-3 years, you will expand to two full days per week, managing your own established panel of continuity patients. Our dedicated attending physicians are present every step of the way, providing expert guidance, mentorship, and comprehensive teaching.

Residents often inquire about the range of procedures they can learn and perform in the clinic. Our program encourages residents to gain proficiency in a wide array of procedures, which can be learned with an attending in the clinic, during dedicated didactic workshops, or on various rotations. If a procedure is clinically appropriate and your attending physician feels comfortable supervising, we generally support your opportunity to perform it.
