Our team includes a core program faculty of seven full-time family medicine attending physicians, a behavioral medicine specialist, a PharmD, and an academic specialist. In addition to full-spectrum family medicine practice, our faculty are experts in point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS), breastfeeding/lactation medicine, global medicine, osteopathic medicine, health systems management, and healthcare advocacy. All of us are committed to helping you grow professionally and personally.
Program highlights
Our community-based program is affiliated with the UNC Chapel Hill Department of Family Medicine and sponsored by Novant Health Huntersville Medical Center. We serve as a rotation site for both the UNC School of Medicine’s Charlotte Campus and the Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine’s Rowan Campus.
Residency curriculum
To meet the needs of our diverse patient population, we provide equitable care to help every patient who walks through our doors live their best. Our rotations and outreach initiatives are designed to reach groups of people that have traditionally been marginalized.
All rotations take place in the Charlotte area.
If you want to build specific experience and skills beyond the core rotations of the family medicine program, you can enhance your curriculum by completing one of our specialty tracks. Most of our graduates practice outpatient family medicine, while some have chosen to pursue urgent care, hospitalist work, or fellowships in global health, geriatrics, hospice and palliative care, sports medicine, and neuro-muscular medicine. You can also work with your faculty to customize electives and away rotations tailored to meet your goals.
