Didactics: Didactics cover a wide array of medical, community health, and behavioral medicine topics as well as procedural skills and topics in practice management. Noon conferences occur every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday didactics starts with HealthAlliance-Clinton Grand Rounds at 7:30 am via Zoom and the Department of Family Medicine & Community Health Grand Rounds at 12:00 pm via Zoom.

Integrated Behavioral Health: Our Behavioral Health curriculum is a strength of training at UMass and in Fitchburg. You have the support of psychologists trained to support primary care. Therapists and psychiatrists in our neighboring community health center are enthusiastic partners in treating patients with psychiatric issues as well as assistance with such issues as behavioral modification, patient non-compliance, drug seeking behavior and more.
