Marquette Family Medicine Residency

Current Residents

Curriculum

Allopathic | Osteopathic

Each year of the Marquette Family Medicine Residency is divided into 13 four-week blocks. Through a combination of required and elective rotations, a resident gains a broad-based education in all medical specialty areas.

Marquette General is used for most inpatient rotations, while significant time is spent at the Peninsula Medical Center with community physicians for the outpatient rotations. Time may be individually arranged elsewhere to meet special requests or needs and rural Family Medicine electives in the Upper Peninsula are strongly encouraged and supported.

Designed for Success

First year residents start their training with a four week introduction to residency. This rotation is designed with hands-on experiences to prepare new residents for the predictable, but critical, care situations they will soon face. Residents are guided to develop a relationship with healthcare team members and learn how the team most effectively work together to provide excellent patient care in the hospital and in the Family Medicine Center.

Visits to community support agencies, hands on review of examinations skills, and coaching with hospital information systems all actively prepare residents for their new role.

Educational Excellence

in an

Exceptional Environment!

Rural Experience

At MGH we are proud of our rural training. Over 90% of our graduates are practicing in federally designated rural areas.

To improve resident rural experience, second-year residents do a one-month rural rotation in one of many rural communities. The rural months are enhanced by the resident using telecommunication technology to see continuity patients. The resident stays in the rural community and connect with patients that are at our Family Medicine clinic in Marquette. This experience is also offered to any residents who want to do a rural Family Medicine elective.

Using telehealth technology allows the resident to decrease travel between sites, maintains continuity care, and increases resident and preceptor comfort with the latest technology in patient care.

Osteopathic

As part of Marquette General Health System’s commitment to quality osteopathic medical education we offer a three-year Family Medicine residency and a first year resident credit for AOA internship training. Osteopathic residents earn this credit by completing the first year of the Family Medicine residency.

The first year focuses on building knowledge and skills in patient care based on the philosophy of osteopathic medicine. Manual skills are developed in clinical settings as well as monthly didactic sessions and hospital rounds.

Further emphasis is placed on developing competence in medical knowledge, patient care, professionalism, interpersonal and communication skills, practice-based learning and system-based practice. Manual medicine clinic volume supports experiential learning as residents continue to enhance these skills during their second and third year of training.

These experiences, and enthusiastic support from faculty and community physicians, help residents graduate from the program as complete osteopathic family physicians.
