       Centra has a single residency – Lynchburg Family Medicine Residency Program (LFMR) – that has been continually accredited by the ACGME since 1976.Â

Our residency 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.Â

What distinguishes our program is our mutually supportive and collegial faculty who work together to ensure a well-balanced program that fosters professional and personal growth.Â

• Responsible for precepting resident physician clinics at LFMR for patients under the age of 18 years including well-baby and newborn visits, routine well child-care, chronic disease follow-ups, and acute care visits. Our residency program serves pediatric patients who have developmental and behavioral health concerns, so this faculty member will role model effective coordination of care with pediatric subspecialists.
