MFMRP Tracks

Geriatrics Track

With an increasingly aging population, there is a critical need for physicians equipped with specialized skills to provide excellent geriatric care across various settings. The Geriatrics Track is designed to prepare residents for effective primary care delivery to older adults and/or to pursue further training through a fellowship. Residents on the Geriatrics Track will work with a Geriatrician Mentor to arrange elective time and CME in addition to a geriatrics-focused research or quality improvement project that will be presented at a conference prior to graduation.

Academic Medicine Track

Residents interested in teaching, scholarship, leadership and a future career in academic family medicine may participate in our longitudinal Academic Medicine Track throughout all three years of residency. Through faculty mentorship and practical experiences, residents develop skills in medical education, curriculum development, learner feedback, scholarly activity, quality improvement, and academic leadership. Residents have opportunities to teach medical students and fellow residents, participate in educational and scholarly projects, develop their academic CV and professional portfolio, and present their work at local, regional and national meetings. The track is designed to be flexible and individualized to build the skills and experience needed for a future role in academic family medicine.

Obstetrics Track

The Family Medicine Obstetrics Track provides enhanced, longitudinal training for family medicine residents who have a strong interest in incorporating obstetric care into their future practice. The track builds upon the core required obstetric and women's health experiences and provides additional clinical exposure, procedural experience, mentorship, and opportunities for progressive responsibility in prenatal, intrapartum, postpartum and newborn care. The goal is to prepare interested residents for comprehensive family medicine practice that includes maternity care and to provide a strong foundation for those considering additional obstetric training after residency.

Hospital Medicine Track

RResidents who have a strong interest in inpatient medicine may pursue the Hospital Medicine Track while maintaining the breadth and continuity of family medicine training. This track builds upon the core required inpatient experiences throughout the three years as residents develop increasing independence in inpatient clinical decision-making, hospital-based teamwork and care transitions with enhanced clinical exposure, focused education, mentorship, procedural experience and opportunities for quality improvement and leadership in the hospital setting.

Sports Medicine Track

Our program has a robust sports medicine track that follows the AMSSM Sports Medicine Track Curriculum. MFMRP residents interested in pursuing a sports medicine fellowship are encouraged to join our track. Our residents benefit from a multitude of opportunities throughout the greater Houston area, which has professional and collegiate teams in every major sport. MFMRP Sports Medicine Track residents have the opportunity to provide sideline coverage at multiple levels including high school, collegiate, and professional sports teams. Our residents also take part in mass event coverage at the annual Chevron Houston Marathon. To enhance residents’ sports medicine clinic experience, MFMRP provides a longitudinal ultrasound curriculum utilizing the SonoSim platform. Residents can then directly transfer their new skills to their own clinic using one of the Butterfly POCUS units located in each clinical pod. MFMRP Sports Medicine Track graduates have gone on to train at top programs as our residents leave the program with the skills they need to succeed on a national level.
