Practice primary care in a highly integrated health delivery system
One-on-one, longitudinal mentoring: Each resident manages his or her own primary care practice, partnered with a superb clinician-educator at a unique Atrius Health (formerly HVMA) health centers in the metropolitan Boston area. The longitudinal relationship fosters accelerated opportunities for growth and is the cornerstone of our program. Residents practice side-by-side with their preceptors during the entire three years of residency, gaining valuable insight into longitudinal care and practice management.
Individualized patient panels: Atrius Health serves large and diverse clinic populations. Unlike most primary care programs in the country, residents build their own panels tailored to their clinical interests and career goals.
Team-based care: Residents practice alongside important health professionals, including nurses, case managers, pharmacists, and population management specialists.
Integrated subspecialty experiences: Sessions with BWH and Atrius subspecialists are integrated into the outpatient rotations so that all graduates are exposed to the full spectrum of outpatient management and learn advanced techniques in the care of complex patients.
“Atrius does team-based primary care really well. I sit in a room with my preceptor, with our pharmacist next door, the medical assistant down the hall, and the nurse and case manager around the corner. Everyone is within reach and knows what’s going on with our patients.”
