Parkview Health Program

Program Identity & Fit

Parkview is a new (launching July 2026), community-based, hospital-system-sponsored Family Medicine residency in Fort Wayne, Indiana, built around a "Clinic First" continuity model in a newly built residency clinic and structured to produce full-spectrum family physicians rather than subspecialists. Training spans a tertiary/quaternary regional medical center, an urban community hospital, and two rural critical-access hospitals (Huntington, Noble), giving residents exposure across rural, suburban and urban underserved populations with heavy integration of behavioral health, addiction medicine, and social determinants of health. Individualized PGY2/PGY3 tracks (maternity care, adult inpatient/hybrid, rural practice, underserved practice) plus a broad procedural curriculum (IUD/implant placement, vasectomy, POCUS, OMT, dermatologic and MSK procedures) signal a program oriented toward preparing graduates for comprehensive, procedurally capable practice in varied and often underserved settings rather than fellowship subspecialization. Scholarly activity is structured but modest in scope (one research initiative plus a required QI project, supported by the Mirro Center), indicating research is expected and facilitated but not the program's central identity.
