CHI Franciscan received more than 1,100 applications for the eight residency spots in the three-year program. Jacob Van Fleet, MD, said he selected CHI Franciscan’s family medicine residency program because he was excited by faculty members’ passion for their work.
“For me, [the program] highlights the culture of family medicine and the types of relationships I want to build with my patients over a lifetime,” he said.
