Alumni Comments

"I felt that my residency prepared me well for real-life practice. The faculty and other residents are top-notch and will be life-long friends. I feel that they significantly improved my ability to learn and develop my medical skills. It was a great learning environment."

"I can't imagine going to another residency program where the faculty, residents, and staff are so cohesive. Our program is resident driven, which gave me opportunities to maximize my education so I graduated with full confidence in my abilities as a practicing physician"
Mark Hafen, DO, 2007 Graduate

"Utah Valley Family Medicine prepared me well for practice by giving me excellent training in the many aspects of family medicine. I also especially appreciated the partnership model where I felt I could give input on decisions that directly affected me as a resident."

"As I've watched those from the program enter the medical community, I see that the Utah Valley Family Medicine Residency provides a balanced and well-rounded training, and the graduates are more than ready for what comes after residency."
- Dan Tovey, MD 2001 Graduate

"The Utah Valley Family Practice Residency was a great bridge into rural family medicine. The training was very broad. The teaching was excellent. While I learned a great deal, I also enjoyed my time. The group of residents and their families are close-knit and caring."
