Family Practice Residency



Welcome to the Family Medicine Residency at Blue Ridge HealthCare!  We are very excited about the completion of our first year. It has been a rewarding experience and I look forward to 2012.

We are currently planning our resident retreat. This will be our first, like a lot of things this year, and I am excited about getting feedback from our residents on how our program is doing and how we can continue to improve.

A special recognition to Gina Miller, DO-OGME I for doing a great job as the role of Chief Intern.

Please contact us with any questions about our Family Medicine Residency Program!
