What Stands Out

Glasgow FMR Advantages

One-on-One Instruction

Nearly all rotations are spent one-on-one with the attending physician.   Family Medicine residents have full access to all areas of the hospital, including:

  • Intensive/Critical Care Unit
  • Emergency Room
  • Pediatric Wards
  • Newborn Nursery
  • Endoscopy
  • Labor and Delivery
  • Same-Day Surgery

Rural Expertise

Glasgow FMR concentrates on training physicians in a rural community that spans several counties and supports nearly 200,000 people. Our program is the only residency based at T.J. Samson Community Hospital Clerkships.

Four-week blocks are available to third and fourth-year medical or osteopathic students upon request if space is available.

Focused on Families

The T.J. Samson Family Medicine Center provides compassionate care for the whole family. Our family doctors serve people of all ages, including newborns, children, adolescents and adults. 

Residents in our program spend two (non-consecutive) rotation blocks at Norton Children’s Hospital during their first year.  One of the blocks are spent on pediatric inpatient wards, and one month is spent in Norton’s emergency department.
