June 7, 2010 Welcome to Lori DePriest, newest member of our residency program support team. Lori comes to us with over six years experience as residency program assistant at the Southwest Georgia Family Medicine Residency at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, Albany, Georgia. She will utilize her valuable skills as our new Residency Project Coordinator.
June 5th, 2010 Rose Family Medicine celebrates it's 40th year of accreditation as a Family Medicine Program. Please check out the blog. It's an awesome feeling to have trained family physicians for four decades!
June 5, 2010 marks the 40th year of the Rose Family Medicine Residency at Rose Medical Center! We first received our accreditation on June 5th, 1970. Congratulations and well-wishes to all who have made this partnership so successful over 4 decades of educating family medicine physicians.
June 1, 2010 The Rose Family Medicine Residency bids goodbye to one of our longtime faculty, Marc Grushan, MD. Marc has been with the Rose Residency for more than a decade, and is moving from a position as residency faculty to a private practice opportunity in Boulder. Marc will be part of a group that makes house-calls to the elderly and home-bound, and is excited about his new opportunity but will miss RFMR immensely. Marc leaves behind a legacy of education and contributions to the Rose program that will benefit our program for decades to come, and we will miss you! Best of luck in your new endeavor! (A search for new faculty is underway!)
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Because there are many family medicine programs, we encourage you to explore all your options and to get to know each program. An ideal residency program should be academically strong, resident friendly, and supports your interests both inside and outside the hospital. Most importantly, make sure that you feel comfortable spending the next 3 years of training there. We encourage you to spend lots of time talking with the residents and faculty. We always welcome questions ! We are extremely proud of our program and would love for you to train with us if the feeling is right !
As a program, we echo Dr. Bacak's words: "We take pride in providing physicians with the tools they need to provide exemplary care in any environment....Every day, I am amazed by the talents of the faculty and residents who give life to our program. Our enthusiastic faculty are nationally recognized for teaching and scholarship and share valued skills such as operative obstetrics. In addition, we serve as an active teaching site for the University of Colorado Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship. Residents and faculty are also active in organized medicine at both the state and national levels. We are a diverse group committed to the life-long journey of being excellent family physicians."
The day begins at 8am at our Family Medicine Center where you will have the opportunity to meet with our Program Director, Dr. Brian Bacak, and will end at approximately 2pm. Comprehensive directions to our hospital will be sent to you along with your interview information letter. If you need additional information, email our Residency Administrator, Pam Sullivan, or call her at the residency office: (303) 584-7913.
Your day will include individual interviews with several faculty and residents, a tour of our Clinic, a didactic session with our inpatient family medicine team taught by one of our community preceptors, a tour of the hospital, and lunch. There will be plenty of time to visit with residents, faculty, and staff. Get to know the people, they are what make our program so strong!
Doing a Sub-internship can be a great way to get to know the residency program (and for the residency to get to know you). It is by no means a requirement to match with the residency. If you are wondering if the Rose residency is the program for you, consider doing a rotation with us. For Sub-internship schedules and application process, contact our Residency Administrator, Pam Sullivan, or call her at the residency office: (303) 584-7913.
Approximately 7 months. Our residency is unique in that we have modified the way our family medicine service is scheduled. As an intern, you will not have any call during our family medicine inpatient service; they will all be 12-hour shifts. That allows you to have call free months....our residents have found that the current system promotes rest, learning, and resident education and health.
Yes ! During orientation, you will receive a "parking puck" to put on your dashboard which allows you to park at the Rose garage for free.
Not bad. Any cafeteria that you eat at day after day may get boring, but the Rose cafeteria does serve a good variety of entrees daily for breakfast and lunch. There is also an option of Little Miss Latte, which is a cafe on a different floor of the hospital; they are open until 1:00 AM every day for those on-call or taking night shifts. Residents receive a stipend to use for both the Rose cafeteria and Little Miss Latte. (ID card is also a swipe card that has money for food loaded on it)
Absolutely ! We usually have monthly resident and faculty get-togethers, such as potlucks, barbecues, mountain biking, golf outings, etc. Residents typically go out on Wednesday nights (after didactic sessions on Wednesday afternoons). Both single and married people all love to attend; some even bring their kids.
The residency is affiliated with the University of Colorado Department of Family Medicine. Most of the faculty of the residency are School of Medicine faculty. Rose residents do occasional rotations at affiliated University Hospital sites, but most of the residents' experiences are done at Rose, a community hospital with a strong history of education.
We uphold the same standards for all our residents.
The application deadline for the 2009-2010 academic year is November 25, 2009.
