I'm absolutely nowhere close to the point of having to take TOO much interest in such a list, but I like this thread, so I'm bumping it, just in case it's been forgotten or overlooked. Seems somewhat important, although my timing is off. :(
 
I'm a fourth year and just interviewed at a bunch of the programs mentioned here and plenty not mentioned. I get that younger med students are using this as a jumping-off point to start looking for family med programs that fit their desires, but I wanted to give my two cents.

I also started to find programs based on this kind of a list, which is a fine place to start, but I think that being open to "opposed" programs is important, too. Ruling out programs before you know much about them can really limit you! For example, a previous poster mentioned JPS in Ft. Worth, TX, a very well-known full-spectrum FM program that trains people for any setting of practice despite having OB/gyn, ER, ortho, and psych residents in house.

Also, just because a program is unopposed does not mean that it is necessarily going to provide full-spectrum training with lots of procedures, ER, inpatient, and OB. There are plenty of unopposed programs that produce clinic-only docs.

For anyone in the position I was a year or so ago, paging through SDN looking for names of places like this to look into, here's my short list of places I'd recommend looking into more (in no specific order!):

Asheville MAHEC - NC
JPS - TX
Texas A&M
Via Christi - KS
Wesley FM - KS
Contra Costa - CA
Natividad - CA
Ventura - CA
Cascades East - OR
Spokane - WA
Tacoma FM - WA
Yakima - WA
Swedish (Cherry Hill and First Hill) - WA
North Colorado FM - CO
St. Mary's - Grand Junction, CO
U Wyoming Casper
Montana FM
Idaho State U - ID
FMR of Idaho - ID
Alaska FM
Rapid City FM - SD
Duluth FMR - MN

These are ones I interviewed at (mostly) or have heard good things from friends about. Happy searching!

How do you figure out if a program is opposed or unopposed? Also, I assume UCO-Denver is opposed? I'm guessing as an RVU student they wouldn't even interview me...
 
Ok, that makes sense. Just curious why anyone who was interested in FP would go to any residency but an "unopposed" program. Is there any benefit with an opposed program that I can't think of?

Also, people who are trying to do couples-match (say, a future-Family Medicine doctor and a future Ob/Gyn) might look for opposing programs so that they can live in the same area -- especially if they're looking to match in a city without many other hospitals.
 
a bump, just in case anyone out there has something to add...
 
Does anyone know anything about the FM Residency at North MS Medical Center in Tupelo, MS?
 
Adventist hinsdale Illinois

MSU/branch community health center Coldwater, mi
 
i'm bumping this (again) for those on the hunt.
 
Can someone explain the Swedish programs in Seattle if they're familiar with them? I'm a little confused by those. There are several subdivisions it looks like, are they all under one program director and you can apply for multiple locations or are they completely separate?
