OVERVIEW

The Carolinas Medical Center-Union Family Practice Residency Program is a 2-2-2 program of the parent Carolinas Medical Center Family Practice Residency Program. Our program focuses on educating residents who would like to work in a small town, rural or suburban community.

Year 1 occurs at Carolinas Medical Center, a major teaching hospital. There is a strong emphasis on acute and critical care and routine obstetrics. Years 2 and 3 are based at CMC-Union, a smaller community hospital located in Monroe, North Carolina. These two years emphasize the knowledge and skills necessary for small town or rural family practice, which includes more ambulatory experiences, obstetrics, community medicine, agri-medicine and public and mental health.

Continuity experience for all three years will follow an apprenticeship model. The physicians at Union Family Practice in Monroe serve as mentors/educators for this program's residents.

The CMC-Union Family Practice Residency Program is fully accredited by the Residency Review Committee for Family Practice.
