Family & Community Medicine Residency

Call Rooms: Residents, if they wish to stay in house, will also have access to private call rooms after being relieved of duty on call nights.

Parking/Transportation: The University has numerous discounted or free parking opportunities surrounding all affiliated hospitals. Subway/bus tokens and regional rail passes are discounted as well for the residents taking advantage of public transportation. The University offers a "pre-tax" payroll deduction for all transportation expenses.

Facilities: As University employees, residents have access to the University facilities (for a fee) such as daycare, gymnasium and pool facilities and discounts to local entertainment.

Lab Coats: All interns and second year residents receive three complimentary embroidered white lab coats. 

EPIC: Our electronic medical record system was recently upgraded to EPIC for both inpatient/outpatient medical records. All of these systems are available remotely from home.

If a resident is trying to transfer from another educational program (prior to the completion of the training offered in that discipline in that institution) the Program Director of the Department of Family medicine will call the referring Program Director or Chairman to check the references PRIOR to making any offer of employment in the Department. If a resident is attempting to enter training at TJUH after completing a phase of training in another institution, a final letter of recommendation and evaluation must be obtained from the referring Program Director PRIOR to submitting the resident’s application for GMEC approval.

All offers of employment at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals are contingent upon approval of the GMEC, licensure, and satisfactory completion of training in an ACGME-approved program or, where applicable, an AOA-accredited program. Residents entering their first year of training must have passed USMLE STEPS One and Two in order to qualify for appointment.
