Residency Faculty and Staff
MU Family Medicine faculty is a principal strength of our program. We have more than 40
full-time faculty members with expertise in multiple disciplines, including family medicine,
sports medicine, geriatrics, internal medicine, sociology, psychology, nursing, nutrition,
medical informatics, research, health services education, and public health. Residents
benefit from their knowledge, skills, and support.
Clinical faculty are professional teachers who maintain their own practices and consider
clinical teaching of residents an important and fulfilling part of academic life. They meet
regularly with residents throughout their training, providing constructive feedback in a
timely and non-threatening manner. Close faculty-resident relationships often develop and
continue even after residents complete their training here.
Though our department has significant size and status, there is a sense of community. Teams,
partnerships, and meaningful faculty-resident relationships all contribute to a collegial and
supportive work environment. Our chair tells graduates that they have a "lifelong warranty" from our department!
