Prime South GME Consortium Program

Knapp Medical Center family medicine residency program in Weslaco offers immersive training in a predominantly uninsured, underinsured, and marginalized patient population along the Texas-Mexico border. Residents gain extensive experience managing advanced, often undiagnosed disease with limited resources, cultivating strong clinical reasoning, adaptability, and advocacy skills. Our bilingual, culturally rich community enhances competence in caring for diverse populations and addressing social determinants of health. Close faculty mentorship, high procedural volume, and early autonomy prepare graduates to practice confidently in both underserved and traditional settings, with a strong commitment to compassionate, community-focused care.
