Community Based Residency – How Are We Different?

Much has been said but little has been studied when it comes to community versus institutional-based residencies. The small amount of research on this topic has proven residents perform the same on boards with either training. At an institutional- based residency, residents tend to get more subspecialty exposure, while at a community- based program, there tends to be more hands- on primary care. Both approaches have specific advantages, but Baptist's community-based format supports our system-based values of compassionate care and service; teamwork and trust; innovation and excellence; respect for the individual and the value of diversity.

Research

Residents are required to complete at least two scholarly activities during their residency periods: one individual project and one group project. To support this effort, each resident will be assigned a faculty mentor experienced in the completion of published works. Projects will be presented at the local or regional American College of Physicians meeting and within the Baptist system.
