Biddle Point Urban Track

Our Urban Track at Biddle Point offers a novel family medicine training experience where residents work in an urban area of Charlotte. Biddle Point Family Medicine was built in 1997 with education of residents at its core. The clinic was built in Biddleville to serve the community in which it stands, which is the oldest surviving predominantly African American neighborhood. It provides residents the opportunity to serve an urban population and for years was the only clinic from a large health care system in one of the 5 identified zip codes of need in Charlotte, NC.

We accept 3 residents per year into the Urban Track, where they will train in a community clinic to deliver a team-based model of care. We have 340B pharmacy onsite that provides discounted medications. Our clinical pharmacist works alongside physicians to manage diabetes, HTN, and anticoagulation. Our teammates include social workers, community health workers, care managers are all onsite and available to patients at no additional cost.

Carolinas Medical Center (CMC) Mercy Hospital, where we admit adult population and CMC Main Hospital/Levine Children’s Hospital, where we admit our pediatric population – are only 3 miles away. Our faculty at Biddle Point have dedicated their lives to this population and have served in inpatient, outpatient, and obstetric roles in their careers, offering this experience to all residents.
