Our mission

Care, scholarship, and training under one roof.

We are a teaching clinic where physicians mentor medical students and trainees through structured rotations, observerships, and academic projects. These opportunities are highly competitive and intentionally limited so each participant receives meaningful mentorship.

Staying current with evidence-based medicine is central to our mission. Our team conducts research, develops abstracts and presentations, and contributes to clinical best practices while continuing to serve our patients and community.

Clinical Thinking Assessment

A patient repeatedly misses afternoon medication doses because of an unpredictable job and frequently forgets to carry the medication. Standard reminders have not worked. Which unconventional approach would you suggest? *

Partner with the workplace to create a discreet medication storage and reminder system. Explore switching to a once-daily formulation tied to a consistent routine such as morning coffee. Keep medication in multiple strategic locations, such as a bag, desk, car, and home. Connect the medication to an existing afternoon habit the patient already maintains. Recruit a coworker or friend as an accountability partner for daily check-ins.
