Our residency program is a hybrid of academic and community programs. Like many community programs, we have a high volume of patients. These patients have two distinct groups of providers: Patients that are seen in resident clinics, high risk OB clinic, local health departments, no prenatal care/no physician provider, and transfers from outside facilities are all provided care by the residents/faculty.
