The best thing that UVA Family Med teaches besides just to examine evidence is to be amenable and even welcoming of change. In my humble 2 years of experience, I have found that if I am NOT changing the way I practice on a monthly basis, then I am worried that I am not keeping up with the literature!  I think this must be a stark contrast to medicine 30 years ago, but this is a good change - and I think it is great that you all teach residents to expect to live with continued change. The status quo makes me nervous, and that is good. Thanks for teaching me this!

Keep up the great work...   Mark

During my time at UVA, I learned more than just medicine. UVA family medicine taught me how to take care of people, how to join with them in a way that they feel respected and empowered. In a small town, that is what my patients need and expect. I could not have had better preparation for my work here in Page County.
