Completing an Ambulatory Care Residency at Mercy Springfield, a large Community Health System, allows the resident to develop practice management and service expansion skill, in addition to building on clinical skills developed during a PGY-1 program. 

The general program structure includes two required learning experience blocks (Ambulatory Care Foundations/Internal Medicine and Medically Underserved) lasting approximately 12 calendar weeks each with one to two days each week set aside for longitudinal work. In addition to the required blocks, the resident can select three elective learning experience blocks scheduled in 8-week blocks with one to two days each week set aside for longitudinal work. Elective selection is based on resident interest and preceptor availability. Potential elective focus areas include: pharmacy academia, endocrinology, cardiology, infectious disease, pain management, transition of care, and pediatrics.
