Mercy Family Health Center

As our continuity clinic, Mercy Family Health Clinic (MFHC) houses the residency program’s model family practice center, where residents work alongside Faculty in a group practice setting.

At Mercy Family Health Center, each resident’s panel includes a broad spectrum of ages, socioeconomic backgrounds, and clinical issues. First-year residents spend one to two half-days per week in clinic, second years, two to four half-days, and third-year residents, two to five. Resident caseloads increase through the three years of training as proficiency increases. Medical students frequently rotate through our center for educational experiences in primary care. 

MFHC patients are cared for on the Family Practice Service at Mercy Medical Center, where residents participate in their patients’ hospital care, supervised by a Family Medicine preceptor.

Accessing knowledge at the point of care is a critical component of being a successful practitioner. A well- established, up to date library along with Internet access is readily available.
