Covenant Health System

Meet the Program Director

Jim Schindler, MD, MPH, has a passion for educating the family physicians of the future. With experience in medical education and residency training, he is leading the program toward new challenges and opportunities for family physicians. Primary care is changing with the advent of virtual care and AI. And while training has traditionally focused on episodic care, family physicians now treat more people who are living longer with chronic diseases. Dr. Schindler says the Methodist Family Residency program incorporates new care models and ways to deliver care most effectively in local communities.
