UMass Chan Medical School Program
About This Program
The first family medicine residency in MA, we're like three residencies in one. We're a learner-centered residency with three distinct outpatient health centers (both urban and small-town) and three match numbers. Our lifelong learning-focused curriculum includes a robust behavioral medicine curriculum, longitudinal electives, and a resident wellness curriculum. Social equity and inclusion is a crucial part of our mission. We're located in affordable Worcester, within an hour from Boston. - -
