The Howard University Family Medicine Residency
Training Program began in 1970. This program was conceived based
upon patient need, with the understanding that our patients required |
| coordination of medical services from acute care through tertiary care medical encounters. |
|
The Program began with 2 residents and has expanded to a program
of 18 residents. We have also developed an undergraduate program,
which is a required clerkship in the College of Medicine, and the
program has been functioning since 1973. Read more  |

Our goal is

after graduation and can manage medical problems
comprehensively. |

| Although the body of knowledge that constitutes the discipline
of Family Medicine is derived from other disciplines such as
Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Surgery,
and Psychiatry, emphasis is placed on the efficient integration
and coordination of necessary health services. The Family Medicine
physician establishes a cohesive approach to health care combining
behavioral sciences with traditional biological and clinical
sciences. The core of knowledge within this discipline prepares
the Family Physician for the patient's first contact with the
health care system and throughout ongoing care. |
