We don’t have to tell you how great we think our program is at Cabarrus Family Medicine (CFM). Instead, we’ll let our residents and faculty tell you what sets us apart.
Dr. Monica Lawler, 2017 Graduate: I chose CFM because I wanted to feel like a family doctor right away. On my interview, residents and faculty were so welcoming and happy and this is still true. The people here make CFM great! The real world training right away and strong academic focus in a community setting are just a bonus. | |
Dr. Andrew Nance, 2019 Graduate and Faculty: Autonomy and hands on learning sets us apart from other programs. At CFM, we are treated as junior faculty, not only in the clinic but also at our 457 bed hospital that does everything from x-rays to open heart surgery. We have an open ICU, which means that you are the primary team even for the sickest patient. Our program is unopposed meaning there are no other residents or fellows to compete with for patient care or one-on-one time with attendings. Our nurses definitely deserve recognition for being magnet status and in the clinic, we have a flow manager nurse who helps keep our patient panel informed and healthy. This incredible continuity extends even to the community where we are encouraged to start events and be our neighbor's primary care physician. And in case you were sold yet, there’s a reason that we have had three active faculty members named as NC family physicians of the year…Because CFM is just awesome and everybody knows that! | |
Dr. Chue Xiong, 2019 Graduate: Attendings are supportive, great resident camaraderie, good work/life balance, strong academics |
