Mountain States Institute For GME and Research Program
About This Program
Residents train in an unopposed suburban/rural setting at a growing, modern hospital. Residents are mentored by family physicians who practice full-spectrum family medicine, including inpatient, OB and newborn care, endoscopy and other office-based procedures. As a mission-oriented program, we work with underserved populations to improve our communitys health. Special training opportunities include certification in Lifestyle Medicine, and we are working towards Osteopathic recognition.
