Thank you for your interest in our residency program

I am excited about the experiences and training that we offer in Carbondale, a university community with many academic and social opportunities. We have both the ability and the desire to train physicians who will feel comfortable practicing in a variety of settings. Our access to numerous rural communities in the surrounding counties provides a patient population that is diverse in its economic, ethnic, and educational background.

We invite you to visit Carbondale and take a look at our Family Medicine Residency Program and our accredited Sports Medicine Fellowship and Hospital Fellowship. If our needs for training residents coincide with your needs, please take the time to come and see us.

SIU Carbondale Family Medicine is proud to be the first health care center in Southern Illinois to be certified as a Patient Centered Medical Home. A medical home is a concept designed to improve a patient's health care by providing a place where a patient has an on-going relationship with a health care provider, who monitors, directs and coordinates that patient's care. The focus is of care is not just on acute problems but on the overall health of the patient and their family.
