 Shenandoah Valley Family Practice Residency is dual AOA-ACGME-accredited 5-5-5 program. Click here to find it on
Mapquest.
They offer the opportunity to draw from the best of two
training environments: Winchester Medical Center (WMC)
in Winchester Medical Center in Winchester, VA, and Warren
Memorial Hospital in Front Royal, VA.
WMC is a state-of-the-art regional hospital. It is a 408 bed referral hospital that draws from a very diverse population
from four states—Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland,
and Pennsylvania. Residents spend most of their OGME-1
year working side by side with highly respected board certified
specialists at WMC, returning for specialty rotations
in the OGME-2 and OGME-3 years.
Residents spend their OGME-2 and OGME-3 years at the
18,000 sq. ft. Front Royal Family Practice Center and Warren
Memorial Hospital, a 131-bed community hospital including
an attached long-term care facility. This small town
hospital plays a vital role in meeting the needs of Front
Royal (pop. 12,500) and the surrounding rural areas.
Their success in training is reflected by where the residents
choose to practice: as of June 09, 41 total graduates, 18 in
small town/rural practice, 9 in solo practice, 23 practicing
in Virginia, and 10 practicing within the local health system. |
