Read a Message from the President and CEO

The Family Medicine Residency at St. Elizabeth Medical Center welcomes you and invites you to learn more of what makes our program special. In a time when fewer medical students are choosing Family Medicine as a specialty, our program has filled its eight residency positions annually since 1990.

The Family Medicine Board passing rate of our residents on first attempt is 99%.  More than 200 residents have graduated since the program’s beginning in 1974. Residents enjoy working at St. Elizabeth, and graduates are proud of and very complementary of their residency training.

Reasons for the program’s success are many, but the primary reason lies in the remarkable people associated with it. Enthusiasm, commitment, pursuit of excellence, and progressive thinking accurately describe the Family Medicine attendings, who assume responsibility for residents’ maximum development.

Our residency director has been the 2002-2003 Kentucky Medical Association President. He is also intensely committed to the residents, and they benefit greatly from his experience. Residents also grow in their autonomy and competence through working closely with physicians in all medical specialties as the sole residency within the medical center. The medical center has earned numerous national awards, and the facility benefits from and strongly supports Family Medicine residents and the program. You are personally invited to learn more about our residency. We’d welcome the opportunity to talk or visit with you.
