We believe that leadership and innovation will be critical to the practice of family medicine in the coming decades. For this reason, we have instituted an advanced training option that emphasizes community and practice leadership focused on improving care to underserved and vulnerable populations. This program is a combined family practice and preventive medicine residency that creatively integrates our community assets with academic resources available through Dartmouth Medical School's Center for the Evaluative Clinical Sciences.
Upon entering the program, residents will join the NH Dartmouth Family Medicine Residency and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Leadership Preventive Medicine Residency for a five-year integrated curriculum that includes the components necessary for board certification in family practice and preventive medicine. Class work for a Master of Public Health will be completed. Additionally, ongoing participation in training seminars designed to develop expertise in systems change and leadership will occur.
Family practice training and the preventive medicine practicum experience take place at our unopposed 8-8-8 residency located in Concord. The residency’s community health center focuses on care of underserved and vulnerable populations through innovative delivery models. Class work and other seminars take place at Dartmouth Medical School’s Center for the Evaluative Clinical Sciences.
An additional training pathway, called the Paul Ambrose Fellowship, is also available for highly committed individuals. In this pathway, students apply and interview in their third year of medical school and begin the MPH coursework in their fourth year. They complete the integrated program in four years and four months of residency training time.
