DePaul Community Health Centers’ (DCHC) Family and Social Medicine Residency Program recently garnered accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The program, which is patient-centered and tailored to each resident, focuses on delivering the highest-level of primary care and offers a rich environment to learn and address all elements of care.
The ACGME accreditation comes after months of the Family and Social Medicine Residency team working diligently to ensure the program meets requirements set within clinical learning environments to support the developmental skills, knowledge, and attitudes of future physicians. The program also facilitates an environment where residents can interact with patients under the guidance and supervision of highly-qualified physicians.
“I’m beyond proud of the level of professionalism and experience that DePaul Community Health Centers’ Family and Social Medicine Residency Program will provide participants,” said CEO and President of DCHC, Dr. Michael Griffin. “The curriculum is designed to be innovative and comprehensive in a way that enables residents to personalize parts of their training. Most importantly, it speaks to DePaul’s passion for supporting and inspiring the next generation of community health care professionals by offering invaluable learning experiences.”
DCHC’s Family and Social Medicine Residency Program will begin interviews with prospective residents in November 2023 and the program will begin July 1, 2024.
