Carrie Peecher, Cheif Family Medicine Resident

What attracted me to NRMC was the staff and family atmosphere. They follow the principals of God first, family second and career third. There is a lot of respect for the individuals and their lives. Residents are not just used up here, but valued. We are taught to treat our patients as our family members and that makes a big difference in how you feel about your work and patients. The faculty are compassionate and concerned about our learning. They want us to be the best doctors that we can be. They encourage us to push ourselves, grow, and think outside the box.

I did my post graduate at KCOM and we have a great relationship with the university. Often we teach students using their Human Patient Simulation Lab. It is a great opportunity to get hands on teaching experience with great students and facilities.

I know other fellow residents who felt very prepared to graduate from residency after the thorough training they received at NRMC. They always talk positively about how NRMC prepared them for their medical careers.

Otolaryngology/Facial Plastic Surgery

Goals

To provide appropriate clinical training experience so that interns/OGME-1s may identify, analyze, and solve the more common diagnostic and therapeutic problems of medical, surgical, and obstetrical patients, both ambulatory and hospitalized, as well as adult and pediatric age groups.

To provide a systematic program of didactic experiences to assist interns/OGME- 1s in the organization and reinforcement of biopsychosocial knowledge, skill and attitudes; and to provide the opportunity to acquire new knowledge, skills and attitudes that will provide the base for continuing education. Insofar as possible, to provide a training experience relevant to each OGME-1’s post-internship goals.

Patient care is the primary method by which physicians in training gain clinical knowledge, skills, and attitudes. While the trainee’s education is of paramount importance, there will be a certain portion of patient care that will be a service to the patient, the attending physician, and the training setting. There is rarely a clinical experience that does not have some educational component to it. Flexibility and understanding are important attitudes for the intern/OGME-1 to develop and practice as the training program strives to achieve an appropriate balance between education and service. Cooperation is essential to provide all aspects of patient care to qualified trainees.
