Grow Your Own!
The Billings Clinic is hoping to create an internal medicine residency program in an attempt to produce doctors that will remain in Montana and help relieve a statewide doctor shortage.
If the program is approved, it would open for the first class of students in July 2014 and produce as many as six doctors a year! Most counties in the state have a shortage of primary care physicians, and 10 counties have no physician at all!
The clinic last fall applied for accreditation from the Chicago-based Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education
