"Our faculty members come from a wide range of both private practice and academic medicine. They have trained, practiced, and taught in many different sections of our country. The teaching philosophy in our Department of Community and Family Medicine is: “If you haven’t done it successfully, you probably can’t teach it well !” The professional and personal relationships between faculty/faculty, faculty/resident, and resident/resident are very good. " L. Michael Silvers MD, Vice-Chair DC&FM
"Our faculty go out of their way to help the residents and get to know each one as individuals. It is not uncommon for residents and faculty to hang out together outside of work. We are like one big family. The faculty are really mentors to the residents. We love to teach and really try hard to help each resident improve their skills, to become the best physicians and to be prepared for the kind of practice that they are hoping to have." Gretchen Dickson, MD, MBA, Advanced OB (Class of 2008)
