Our Family Medicine Residency Program
Abundant Resources, Diverse Opportunities.
Welcome to Owensboro Health! Our regional health system serves a population of nearly 400,000 in Western Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
We are proud to partner with the University of Louisville to present our Family Medicine Residency program. Accredited in May 2019, the residency welcomed its first six residents in 2020. The three-year program will add an additional six physicians each year for a total of 18 residents.
“Primary care is our foundation here. All of our specialties and subspecialties are very dependent on primary care. We are a large, regional referral center, but primary care is our base, our backbone.”
– Francis DuFrayne, MD, Owensboro Health Chief Medical Officer
Now Recruiting Resident Physicians for next year
As one of the program’s first residents, you’ll help shape and develop our training program for future physicians, and because Owensboro Health currently has no other residency programs, you won’t have to compete for “face time” with faculty. You’ll have abundant training resources and diverse learning opportunities.
You’ll also have:
- The opportunity to work one-on-one with professional, seasoned medical leaders who act as mentors as you develop leadership skills of your own.
- A robust curriculum of classroom studies and clinical rotations with a full spectrum of family medicine training, from newborn to geriatrics, and outpatient to inpatient care settings.
- You’ll also benefit from our affiliation with the University of Louisville, one of the nation’s fastest-growing medical research institutions. Go Cardinals!
