Lynchburg Family Medicine Residency Program
For over 40 years, Lynchburg Family Medicine has played a pivotal role in the health and well-being of Central Virginia. As Centra’s oldest practice, we enjoy the reputation that leads to building a broad base of patients from all ages and backgrounds. Our mission of “Educating Family Physicians through Excellent Patient Care” reflects our dual role of providing a medical home for continuous, compassionate, and competent health care, while developing the clinical skills of resident physicians and preparing them for the challenges of health care. Established in 1975, we are the only residency sponsored by Centra Health, Inc. Our faculty hold academic appointments with the University of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Liberty University.
Residents care for patients in our beautiful office in Lynchburg, a level 3 patient-centered medical home, and are offered a solid base of inpatient training, caring for patients in all units of Lynchburg General Hospital and Virginia Baptist Hospital. Continuity of the physician-patient relationship is valued, and patients are also seen in local nursing homes and home visits.
Lynchburg, Virginia is a beautiful, green, historic town close to Charlottesville and Richmond and a few hours drive from Washington, D.C. and the Atlantic Ocean. Located at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Central Virginia, there are plenty of activities available such as white water rafting, canoeing, hiking, fishing, mountain biking, or simply exploring the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. If you like the outdoors, history, or fun things to do, Lynchburg is your town.
