3. Master’s in Family Medicine (3 Years)

The Family Medicine residency program at the Texila American University has used academic sessions and clinical and community-based teaching to prepare residents for private practice. This three years residency program is designed to train residents in the outpatient office and community based setting to experience the “real world feel” and to prepare the medical school graduate for the delivery of comprehensive health care to patients of all ages in a variety of settings.

Our curriculum is focused on allowing each resident to individualize their learning experience to meet their personal educational goals by maximizing elective time allowed in the 2nd and 3rd year of residency. We also tailor the curriculum based on the educational needs of the residents, in each year of residency we “pull residents off the wards” and put them together in the classroom for didactics, workshops, group projects, team-building time and outpatient clinic. This will allow us to ensure that each resident, in each year, will engage in learning that we believe is essential to the practice of Family Medicine. The program also provides training in the full spectrum of outpatient settings including both urban and underserved training opportunities.

The special strengths of our program include:

• Outstanding academic quality.
• Diverse family physicians who work closely with other specialists clinically and educationally.
