Program overview
The Family Medicine Residency Program at TriStar Southern Hills Medical Center is an ACGME-accredited, structured three-year program focused on giving our residents the experiences needed to provide comprehensive care to patients of any age.
Our residency program offers academically rigorous training. In fact, we offer training that develops residents' medical knowledge, patient care skills, practice-based learning, systems-based practice, professionalism and interpersonal skills. Our dedicated faculty give residents broad clinical exposure including acute and chronic care plus exposure to a variety of inpatient and outpatient practice settings. Our trainees earn a great degree of autonomy in overseeing patient care as they demonstrate growth in ACGME competencies.
We are affiliated with TriStar Southern Hills Medical Center, a 126-bed hospital that has provided high-quality healthcare to citizens of Davidson and surrounding counties for over 40 years. The hospital is committed to providing excellent training opportunities, and the residents will work closely alongside collegial attending physicians.
