The Alvernon Track of the Family Medicine Residency program emphasizes focuses on the Tucson community and surrounding areas with an underserved focus in a suburban/urban setting. The program is committed to preparing full-spectrum family physicians from diverse backgrounds, dedicated to social justice and health equity, and providing family-centered, community-responsive care for historically marginalized populations and those living in rural and other medically under-resourced areas. The residency program uses a 2+2 rotation structure. Residents alternate between twoweeks of non-FM clinic work and two weeks of outpatient work in the family medicine center, managing their continuity panel. Alvernon track residents are required to complete a two-week rotation at a rural pediatrics site and a one-week rotation at a rural gynecology site.
Elective rotations are offered at one Tribal medical facility: the SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium, an Alaska Native health organization in Juneau, AK.
