Continuity Clinic
Greetings to all intern applicants. We write with news of new ventures that we think present exciting opportunities.
We have long been proud of the range of options available for continuity clinics. As a reminder, interns have had three options for their continuity clinics.
- Healthcare Associates is our beautiful on campus faculty resident practice that all of you should have seen on tour.
- Several of our residents are very happily based at the Veterans Administration practice in West Roxbury.
- Dimock Community Health Center is a wonderful site serving primarily African American and Latino patients.
We are thrilled to announce that our longstanding collaboration with Fenway Community Health Center will expand with a wonderful new venture in July 2009.
We have for many years offered an elective at Fenway and have offered second continuity practice for primary care residents beginning in the JAR year. In addition to these wonderful options, two interns matched in 2009 will have the opportunity to launch their continuity practices at the Fenway in brand new space just across the street from Fenway Park and in easy walking distance from the hospital.
The Fenway provides state of the art programming and clinical care with a particular focus on GLBT care and HIV management; they also care for the greater community of people living in the Fenway area. They have many innovative programs focused, for example, on substance abuse and alternative insemination.
Please email Carol Bates, MD, Primary Care Program Director (cbates@bidmc.harvard.edu) about these or any of our other continuity clinic options or Harvey Makadon, MD at the Fenway (Makadon@fenwayhealth.org) for more information.
