Community Faculty
A summary of the teaching opportunities for family physicians available through the College of Medicine
Community Faculty are an integral part of both the undergraduate and postgraduate training programs. Teaching undergraduate students and residents is a wonderful way to share your clinical knowledge and experience. It can help refresh you, update your own knowledge, and give you a break from your other responsibilities. Medical students and residents rely heavily on community based teachers to help train them as our future physicians. Early and repeated exposure to Family Medicine will help students consider family medicine as a career, so your teaching also helps ensure that we will have enough family physicians in the future.
