Biographical context: Because you spend every other month with a smaller cohort of coresidents and the PCPC attendings, you really get to know each other so well.
I decided to switch from the categorical program to PCPC for a couple of reasons. The most salient of which was the community in PCPC. PCPC is filled with mentors who care about your professional and your personal growth. Because you spend every other month with a smaller cohort of coresidents and the PCPC attendings, you really get to know each other so well. Because of this time together everyone grows into a family. The other main reason I chose to join was for the continuity with my patients. Having an available clinic every other month means you really get the chance to know your panel of patients and provide the longitudinal care that is the beauty of Primary Care. PCPC was the best decision I made in residency and I am so grateful to be a part of this wonderful family of physicians. – Nicole Scaramella, MD
