Welcome to the TidalHealth Family Medicine Residency Program! Congratulations on progressing to this exciting stage of your medical education and thank you for taking the time to visit our website.
Our program is a newly accredited 4-4-4 program with our inaugural class starting in July 2025. We are supported by a program director, associate program director, program coordinator, four core faculty physicians, 24 general faculty members and a well-established hospital system that dates back to 1897.
A few unique aspects of our program include:
- Our commitment to having our residents board certified in Obesity Medicine or Lifestyle Medicine prior to graduation, as well as training our residents to treat patients holistically. To support this, our plans for our residency clinic include a community kitchen for nutrition lectures, community garden, dietitian, behaviorist, social services specialist and pharmacist.
- Our dedication to individualizing resident education with more one-on-one teaching opportunities via a large faculty-to-resident ratio of more than 7:1 for the inaugural class and 2:1 at full complement.
- Our commitment to resident procedural competency and comfort via regular sessions at our multi-million-dollar, state-of the-art TidalHealth Center for Training and Simulation.
- Our support for research at the TidalHealth Richard A. Henson Research Institute, through which we collaborate with Johns Hopkins.
- Our dedication to resident, faculty and staff wellness with wellness sessions incorporated in our didactics, as well as our biannual retreats. Our primary location on the Eastern Shore of Maryland near award-winning beaches, the beautiful Chesapeake Bay and multiple national parks further supports our healthy lifestyle. Having large metropolitan cities, such as Washington D.C., Baltimore and Philadelphia, located a few hours away is also convenient and provides our residents with unique opportunities to participate in advocacy experiences.
The TidalHealth Family Medicine Residency Program aims to deliver an exceptional educational experience that equips residents with the knowledge and skills required to become compassionate and proficient family medicine physicians, dedicated to delivering the highest quality of patient care, safety and professionalism. Our program is committed to keeping pace with the latest educational techniques and technologies to meet the needs of its residents while promoting a supportive and inclusive learning environment that values diversity, respect and teamwork. Our ultimate goal is to produce family medicine physicians who are well-prepared to meet the current and future healthcare challenges of our communities.
As a newly accredited program, we are looking for highly motivated physician leaders from diverse backgrounds to be active members of our inaugural class. After living and developing relationships in our wonderful community during residency, we hope our graduates choose to stay as highly respected pillars of our community.
I hope you consider joining our program and being a key member of our team as we build this beautiful legacy.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Katherine Goth, MD
