| The
SIU Center for Family Medicine is the heart of
our training program. The Center is located in a "neighborhood setting",
ideally situated within walking distance of SIU School of Medicine, and
the program's two affiliated hospitals; Memorial Medical Center and St.
John's Hospital. At a little over 28,000 square feet, the Center
has thirty three exam rooms, including a walk-in urgent care clinic for
our established patients. There are two procedure suites equipped
with state-of-the-art equipment, allowing residents the capability of performing
a number of different types of procedures. Teaching space includes
a large classroom for weekly resident conferences, a conference room set
up for telemedicine conferencing, and faculty supervision space adjacent
to the resident office space. Each resident has their own individual
area in a spacious residency office which is located adjacent to the resident
clinical space. The residency office also has computers and a library
available for residents to utilize.
Within the Center for Family Medicine, close supervision by dedicated faculty ensures that each resident receives necessary help and guidance. Daily feedback is provided in a positive, creative, constructive manner. The resident will use the resources connected to the Center to investigate, analyze and integrate the solution for each patient's problem. The emphasis is on the Family Physician as the problem solver and the orchestrator/manager of all the resources available and needed. The Center facilitates our emphasis on continuous, comprehensive care that can be delivered effectively within the changing health care environment. |
