Family Medicine Residency & Fellowships

Department of Family Medicine Residency Program

The purpose of the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine / BMC Department of Family Medicine Residency Program is to prepare physicians for productive careers by emphasizing multidisciplinary efforts that integrate comprehensive primary care and public health approaches to the needs of patients, families, and their communities. Our department is committed to delivering care within the context of the patient’s family, and, where appropriate, care of the family as a unit.  

The Family Medicine Residency Program provides a comprehensive, evidenced-based, primary care curriculum that recognizes the social determinants of health that influence how our patients experience illness. Our goal is to train clinically excellent family physicians who are dedicated to social justice and improving the health of Boston’s underserved communities and beyond. More than 50% of our program’s graduates currently practice in underserved settings or federally designated physician shortage areas. Learn more and apply.
