Methodist Family Medicine Residents
In March 2024, the Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge Family Medicine Residency program announced our inaugural class of eight residents. We welcomed them to the program in July with a pinning ceremony, and their residency experiences began soon after.
In 2025 we welcomed our second group of residents. They will serve alongside the previous class at Methodist Family Medicine Clinic. while experiencing advanced training at numerous clinical locations under the guidance of our outstanding faculty and preceptors.
Our residents come from throughout the U.S. and share a strong desire to become excellent family physicians. Learn more about them at the links below.
