Family Medicine

As the largest program in the country, we are proud of our storied tradition. Our graduates practice full service family medicine in nearly every state across the U.S. and in numerous countries around the globe. They serve their communities in a vast array of practice settings such as rural, suburban, international, inner city, and academic. JPS graduates are proven leaders in their communities at local, state, and national levels. JPS is known for unparalleled clinical experience and procedural training. In addition, rigorous academic instruction has resulted in record scores on the American Board of Family Medicine In-Training Examination each of the past fifteen years. We are passionate about the future. Since 2006, we have led the national in residency curriculum innovation to meet the needs of the communities our graduates serve.
