Family Medicine
Our Family Medicine Program started on July 1, 2010, (2010-2011 academic year) under the direction of Marc Kaplan, DO. The program started with two residents and has since increased their complement to 12.
The program received their Initial Accreditation in 2017 and received their Continued Accreditation in 2019. It has also received initial accreditation for Osteopathic Recognition in 2019 and received continued accreditation in Osteopathic Recognition in January of 2023.
The FM program has graduated 22 residents since it began. Four of these residents have continued to practice in Cochise County. It has had three graduates go into Fellowship Programs, two in OMM and one in Addictionology.
This year 2023/2024 CVMC started their very own ER fellowship, and we have one graduating in June that will be the first Fellow in that program.
We are sponsored by Midwestern University Consortium in Glendale Arizona.
Family Medicine currently has 12 D.O. Residents
