Our faculty members have diverse backgrounds and interests, are experienced in teaching, and practice clinically. They each have a demonstrated passion and dedicated commitment to the residency.
Our residency program prioritizes education over service. This means that time for education is protected. Patient care is educationally focused and with reasonable caseloads so that time can be dedicated to valuable discussion and learning. There is protected time for didactics during daily noon conferences and weekly academic half-day conferences.
We are a singular residency program strongly supported by a national leader in medical care focused on preventive medicine and access to health care for all. The role of the primary care physician is the central part of our integrated, patient-centered system of care, and residents are trained as an integral part of their educational journey.
Training at Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Mid-Atlantic States, Inc. (KPMAS) features an innovative 2 week by 4 week “block” to ensure that inpatient and outpatient responsibilities do not conflict. Our trainees see patients in clinics, participate in inpatient training on the wards and ICU, treat urgently sick patients in our clinical decision units, care for geriatric and underserved patients, and rotate through core specialty experiences.
KPMAS has national recognition in chronic disease management and preventive health guidelines based on evidence-based medicine, clinical informatics, and peer-reviewed research.
