We are proud of our unique clinical and educational curricula that build the necessary skills to provide care to patients of all ages with complex medical conditions within the context of social and structural drivers of inequities.

In keeping with our program’s community and patient-centered approach to resident education, this curriculum is developed and grown in collaboration with our community partners. We believe that primary care should be delivered when, and where, it is needed for each patient. For many patients this means in their home, their school, in temporary housing or on the street, or within the prison and jail system. Through this innovative model residents will learn how to reduce inequities in patients with extreme medical complexity through patient-centered, team-based care, and by addressing the systems of oppression which often produce and perpetuate these inequities. In addition, we have a series of innovative curricula, including transgender medicine, homeless medicine, and opioid use disorder training, that distinguishes our program and provides unique training for future physicians. Highlights of the continuity care structure include:

• A 6+2 block system that prioritizes your primary care experiences
• Additional half or full days at Settlement Health on all rotations other than inpatient medicine and ICU rotations
• Dedicated time for didactics, panel management and population health

This innovative ambulatory clinical experience will be supplemented by a robust primary care educational curriculum including:

• Academic half days with ambulatory medicine and primary care residents while on outpatient blocks
• Academic half days with medicine primary care and categorical pediatric residents while on elective blocks
• Longitudinal Med-Peds Conferences
