Learn more about our program curriculum:
To provide training tailored toward each resident's future practice, we have designed four optional tracks, from which a resident can choose. These tracks are offered to residents in all programs.

Our program is designed to spread each of the main medical disciplines throughout the three years to ensure robust training. There is experience in Medicine, Obstetrics, and Pediatrics in each of the three years.
Behavioral Sciences, Community Medicine, Geriatrics, and Practice Management are all part of a specified longitudinal experience. Each of these disciplines have a curriculum spread throughout the three years of residency.
Residents electronically evaluate each rotation and attending at the end of each block. They also provide feedback about their overall residency experience once per year. These evaluations are used to improve residency rotations and activities.
Residents receive verbal feedback during check-out every Friday from that week's attending and chief resident while on a hospital service rotation. Residents are also evaluated by each attending during every block through an electronic evaluation sent directly to the residency. These evaluations are reviewed with residents during six- month reviews that take place with each resident's advisor.
There is also an annual in-training exam every November to help monitor each resident's learning.
Every Wednesday, didactics begin at 12:30 PM.
Junior residents have protected time to attend. To ensure full participation, conferences are streamed live to the Wray and Sterling rural sites and the hospital call room lounge. All sessions are recorded and archived for future reference.
Additionally, the OB and Medicine/Pediatrics services hold daily didactic sessions, with residents and faculty alternating as presenters.
