Family Medicine Residency at UMass Chan - Baystate

Join us in building our innovative new program

The Greenfield Family Medicine Residency at UMass Chan Medical School - Baystate is the only Family Medicine program in Western Massachusetts.

Based out of the Greenfield Family Medicine practice in Franklin County, the northernmost tip of the Pioneer Valley, you will be joining a team of family physicians with a defined mission to prepare health professionals to care for the under-served, rural populations of the area.

You will have a significant impact on developing an innovative curriculum and growing the program—a lasting legacy for future family physicians in the region.

Our core faculty – with decades of experience in community and academic medicine – have created an innovative curriculum tailored towards the broad scope of outpatient medicine and resident well-being. By building our program from the ground up, we have integrated the most modern and progressive concepts of what family medicine is today and will be in the future.

The Heart of Outpatient Medicine: Continuity Clinic

From your first day of clinic, and throughout your three-year training, you will care for your own panel of patients and families under the guidance of faculty preceptors.

You will be their first point of contact in prevention and routine care to coordinate and manage urgent medical issues, chronic conditions, and everything in between.

Our curriculum provides a robust education in high-quality, evidence-based outpatient medicine.

• You will work closely with your attendings, all of whom are focused on tailoring your experiences to meet your future practice needs.
