Faculty

Our faculty has a rich diversity of interests, experience, and expertise. Most of our faculty did their residency training at MHMMC and have been with the residency program for years but we also have a few newcomers.

All share an enthusiasm for teaching and value the core tenets of family medicine. Most of our attendings precept, provide patient care at their primary clinic site, and attend on the family medicine inpatient service. Several also care for pregnant women.
