Utah Family Medicine Residency Descriptions and Contact Info
Utah is home to four family medicine residencies - all excellently qualified to prepare new physicians for their medical careers. If you are interested in continuing your medical education in Utah, click below to learn what unique programs each residency has to offer and how to contact each for more information.
Student Loan Repayment Programs
Doctors graduating from medical school can be saddled with several thousand dollars in student loan debt which can take several years - or decades - to pay off. There are several service-based programs that can help new physicians pay off a portion of or refinance their debt. There are many programs students in medical school can consider as they explore career options.
UAFP Student & Resident Outreach Committee
Utah is home to two medical schools and four family medicine residencies. The UAFP Student & Resident Outreach Committee is made up of representatives from each medical school's family medicine interest group and each family medicine residency. All committee members are also non-voting members of the UAFP Board of Directors. Learn more about the 2020/21 committee members and how you can join this committee and the UAFP Board.
