Residency Information

In-Patient Service
The Family Medicine In-patient Service is an active service that usually serves about 50-65 patients per month. We care for patients who have a wide variety of medical problems and range in age from newborn to elderly. The team consists of one attending physician from the Family Medicine staff, a first year, a second year and a third year resident, along with a fourth year medical student. This setting provides continuity of care for Family Medicine patients who need hospitalization and provides education for residents and students.

Out-Patient Service
The physicians of the Department of Family Medicine see out-patients at University Family Medicine Associates, PA clinical area, located in 29 South Paca Street at the corner of Lombard and Paca Streets.

House-Call Program
The house-call program sees homebound patients for chronic care and occasionally for acute problems. Patients are seen by a physician with a resident or medical students. The house-call team meets twice a month to discuss patient care problems. The team includes a pharmacist, a social worker, visiting nurses from the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Maryland, a representative from a durable medical equipment company, a physician, medical students and a secretary. The phone number for the house call program is 410-328-1153.

We have graduated more than 300 family physicians, who are practicing in all possible practice types from coast to coast. The three-year training program allows our residents to become highly skilled practicing physicians. Our residency is nationally known for producing excellent family physicians.
