Monroe Clinic is a not-for-profit single hospital health system, grounded in mission and fueled by innovation. Serving southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois since 1939, Monroe Clinic has received LEED-Silver Certification for our 58-bed new hospital that opened its doors in 2012. This was followed by a state-of-the-art new clinic building which opened its doors in 2019.  The program's primary focus is Ambulatory Care, with a strong emphasis on teaching.  The residency offers diverse rotational experiences, with the resident working alongside physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacists, providing support and assisting with pharmacist-managed pharmacotherapy clinics working under comprehensive collaborative practice agreements.  The residency's primary goal is to prepare competent, well-rounded clinicians, capable of practicing independently in a clinic setting in collaboration with physicians and the health care team.
