Family Medicine Residency Program focused on real-life mentored holisitic and procedurally-oriented family medicine education and training in a rural, urban or international setting. This is a mentorship based, procedurally robust opportunity for real-life practice experience as a “junior partner” in order to better prepare for a career in primary care medicine in rural, urban, or international settings. Residents have the opportunity to interact and treat a full-spectrum of patients from newborn to end-of-life, for both chronic diseases as well as preventive care and population health, and including family-centered maternity care and obstetrics, as well as the full-spectrum of procedures needed in rural and international settings. The clinic and hospital are located in Centreville, Alabama, in Bibb County. The city is bisected by the Cahaba River, the longest free-flowing waterway in Alabama, and surrounded on the southwest and northeast by the Talledega National Forest. The city is also centrally located an hour or less to three major Alabama cities and airports, and within a half-days’ drive of the best weekend getaways the Deep South has to offer. The area offers an ideal quality of life. A heritage rich in history and arts, an abundance of natural resources, lower than average cost of living, a demand for academic excellence, and a passion for sports – all combined with southern hospitality, makes for an ideal place to call home.
