About This Program
The Clarion Hospital Family Medicine residency is located in a rural area with an aging population. Most rotations are 1 on 1 with a preceptor, so there is ample opportunity to be first assist or have more possibility for autonomous practice. With limited specialists, residents gain valuable knowledge in treating patients for a variety of concerns from start to finish.
