The Bristol Family Medicine Program is an 8-8-8 program located at a community hospital in the Appalachian Mountains of Northeast Tennessee. Our community-based program is part of the ETSU Health system. This gives us the support and resources of a university program in a community setting. Our program is known for its rural flavor, team spirit, and strength in key areas such as hospital care, obstetrics, and outpatient care in a patient-centered medical home. If you are a medical student looking for a residency program that provides excellent training in a scenic and friendly environment, this may be the place for you! Our residents pursue careers in outpatient medicine, as hospitalists, in teaching, in urgent care, ER’s, sports medicine and as full-spectrum physicians whose practice includes OB. The common theme is their pursuit of excellence and the support they give each other through the training years. If you believe that Family Medicine is more than a career, that it is an attitude, then take some time to look at our resident testimonials.
