Greater Lawrence Family Health Center Program
About This Program
Founded in 1994, Lawrence FMR was the first CHC-sponsored residency in the US. Our residents have proven a willingness to make an extra investment in their education by undertaking a four-year integrated curriculum. The additional year of training allows for greater depth not only within the traditional scope of family medicine, but also in allowing for a far greater pursuit of an area of concentration (AOC), Spanish language proficiency, community engagement, and research.
