Cornerstone Care Teaching Health Center Mission Statement
The mission of the family medicine residency program is to provide residents with advanced and concentrated training in the specialty of family medicine. Residents have an obligation to the patient care program of the institution and to the effectiveness of the educational program to which they have been appointed.
