Abstract

The ambulatory clinic director oversees the clinical and education mission for residents, patients, and faculty. This includes making sure residents become exposed to and skilled in varied areas of medicine, including chronic disease management, preventative care, mental healthcare, substance abuse, acute care, and population management. The ambulatory clinic is a critical learning venue for developing the necessary skills to provide outstanding outpatient care.
