EVMS Portsmouth Family Medicine Residency Program: Life as a Third Year

Taking a break at Journal Club

By this time, you're spending four to five half days a week at the family practice center and finding more emphasis placed on learning the business aspects of medical practice. You'll even get an opportunity to attend an intensive week-long practice management course.

Some of your mandatory rotations are Neurology, ENT, Dermatology, and Ophthalmology/Urology, all done under the supervision of that strong base of committed community physicians. You'll also have one month of in-patient Family Medicine as the senior resident.

You also have your choice of elective months that can include:
