The Center for Family Medicine runs two Family Medicine Residency Programs in Sioux Falls and Pierre. The Sioux Falls program, established in 1973, offers hands-on training with experienced professionals and top-of-the-line technology. Graduating nearly 350 residents, 75% practice in South Dakota and nearby states. The residency accepts nine residents annually, emphasizing evidence-based medicine and community service. Obstetrical training, procedural skills, and care for underserved populations are key focuses.
The Pierre Rural Family Medicine Residency Program started in 2012 to address the shortage of primary care physicians in rural South Dakota. By investing resources, the program aims to increase the workforce of family medicine physicians and meet healthcare needs. The state's support allowed the Center for Family Medicine to develop this second residency program.
Both programs aim to prepare physicians for rural practice in South Dakota and the upper Midwest, offering a comprehensive educational experience. Residents are trained in a variety of settings with a special focus on preventive care, family-centered medicine, and self-directed learning.
