Program Description

The mission of the CoxHealth PGY2 Ambulatory Care Residency Program is to cultivate advanced clinical practice skills that develop the resident into a confident and adaptable ambulatory care practitioner. The program provides robust opportunities in leadership, clinical practice site development, and a personalized residency experience tailored to the resident’s professional goals.

Residents will participate in longitudinal primary care experiences across multiple practice sites, each building upon the other to enhance clinical decision-making, patient care ownership, and population health management. These sites offer diverse care environments and patient needs, allowing exposure to a broad spectrum of populations, including family medicine, internal medicine, and settings that serve medically underserved and complex patient populations. Select sites may also provide focused learning opportunities in areas such as geriatrics.

In addition, residents will rotate through specialty clinics and elective experiences to further strengthen management of complex disease states and explore areas of clinical interest, which may include endocrinology, cardiology, transitions of care, and academia.
