University of Wisconsin–Madison

Residency Programs

The University of Wisconsin Department of Family Medicine and Community Health sponsors three distinct family medicine residency training programs in Wisconsin: the Madison program, the Baraboo Rural Training Track, and the Monroe program. Together, these programs share a common mission of training compassionate, skilled, and adaptable family physicians prepared to provide full-spectrum care across the many communities of Wisconsin.

Baraboo RTT Program

The Baraboo Rural Training Track offers a unique apprenticeship-style training model designed to prepare residents for full-spectrum rural family medicine. Residents spend much of their first year training in Madison while maintaining a continuity clinic in Baraboo. They transition to full-time training in Baraboo during their second and third years, allowing for deep mentorship, progressive autonomy, and strong community integration.

Madison Program

The Madison program offers full-spectrum family medicine training rooted in community-based care in the heart of our state capital. Residents train across urban, suburban, and rural environments at four continuity clinic sites. Robust inpatient, obstetric, and outpatient experiences prepare graduates to provide comprehensive care across all stages of life and practice settings.
