Clinical Care

Primary Care

At the Boston University Department of Family Medicine, our clinicians care for individuals and families of all ages, genders, life stages, and health conditions. We’re committed to caring for the whole person, from infancy through older adulthood. Our teams deliver comprehensive, coordinated care rooted in long-term relationships. In addition to Boston Medical Center, our providers also practice at our BMC affiliated clinics and community health centers across Boston.

Hospital Care

Department of Family Medicine practitioners provide exceptional inpatient services for patients in the Boston HealthNet system. Family Medicine hospitalists and other providers round out the inpatient team, helping train the next generation of family medicine residents and medical students.

Sports Medicine

The Division of Sports Medicine at Boston University provides comprehensive, team-based care for athletes and active individuals at every level, from recreational to elite. As part of the Department of Family Medicine, the division takes a whole-person approach to injury prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. Founded in 2001, the division has grown into a renowned multidisciplinary program delivering care across Boston Medical Center and community-based sites.

Geriatrics Program/ Nursing Home Group

The Geriatrics Program provides teaching and clinical care at Boston Medical Center, affiliated Community Health Centers and Boston area nursing homes.  Medical students participate in geriatric workshops and small group discussions on key aspects of care to the elderly. They visit an elderly patient on a home visit and perform a geriatric assessment.  Residents participate in geriatrics case conferences and seminar series.  They provide clinical care on home visits, the palliative care service, the East Boston PACE program, and hospice.  Residents are assigned longitudinal nursing home patients and visit them monthly starting in the second year.

The Family Medicine Nursing Home Group provides long term care, and care to patients in acute rehabilitation and skilled nursing settings in 5 nursing homes in close proximity to affiliated health centers.  The faculty team consists of nurse practitioners and family physicians.  The innovative model ensures close communication with the inpatient and outpatient consultative services thorough the integrated electronic medical record.   Our patients are admitted to the inpatient Family Medicine Service at BMC when they require hospitalization.   On discharge home to the community, we communicate directly with the primary care providers at the community health center. Our physician faculty and residents provide continuity to patients in the hospital, the nursing home and the community health center.
