Mission Statement...

Our Mission is to train highly competent family physicians, to deliver patient-oriented care, and to provide a stimulating environment for health care professionals.

Overview

The Cedar Rapids family medical residency program became certified in 1971, a natural outgrowth of a rotating internship program which had operated continuously since 1918.  This program was one of the earliest family practice programs in the upper Midwest.  We are a community-based residency program, a feature which promotes learning. 

We have a tradition of strong support from the hospitals and medical community.  We are proud of our highly qualified and enthusiastic clinical preceptors, and we have developed a curriculum which is comprehensive, yet adaptable to the varying needs of our residents and the evolving needs of family medicine.
