Working in RBMG opens the eyes of our residents about how to skillfully care for patients longitudinally. Our trainees are encouraged to notice areas for improvement so that we can enhance the quality of care that we deliver to our patients and advance the quality of the educational experience. Together with their coaches and practice leaders serving as a mentors, the residents have embarked on numerous quality improvement projects and research initiatives in our practice.

“At the beginning of my Chief year as a nascent “coach,” I struggled to figure out how to “dance” with my resident partners. But, by the end, it was a beautifully timed waltz where we didn’t have to look at our feet or worry whether we were going to trip one another
—Mariah Robertson, MD MPH, Chief Resident (2018-19)

“We introduced opioid use disorder treatment with buprenorphine into the RBMG as a resident-led initiative. It not only provided a much-needed service to patients, but it has also inspired faculty to become waivered to treat/prescribe. This has helped to destigmatize addiction, as both providers and staff develop comfort and experience in treating OUD – a practice that is immensely rewarding for clinical teams and life-saving for patients.”
—Ryan Graddy, MD, Chief Resident (2016-17)

“The RBMG gave me the opportunity to serve in one of the most rewarding roles on a patient’s care team: the primary care physician (PCP). My patients taught me invaluable lessons about the progression of chronic disease, the power of health education and preventive medicine, and the resilience of the human spirit.”
—Kavita Chapla, MD (Quoted when PGY-3)

“My RBMG practice has been one of the most joyful, humbling, and eye-opening components of my intern year. This year alone, my patients and I have shared joys and sorrows, partnered to work through setbacks, and celebrated milestones together. And for me, RBMG is where I fully began to appreciate the breadth of patience, faith, and hope entrusted to providers by the communities we serve.”
—Amarpreet Ahluwhalia, MD (Quoted when PGY-1)
