ProHealth Waukesha Memorial Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

Waukesha Family Medicine is a single-residency, community-hospital-based program built around a high-volume, full-scope obstetrics experience and a distinctive "Majors and Masteries" curriculum that lets residents build individualized concentrations (e.g., Sports Medicine, Hospital Medicine, Women's Health, Rural Medicine, Geriatrics) or extend to a fourth year to earn an MBA or MPH while continuing clinical training. Training occurs at Waukesha Memorial Hospital, a nearly 300-bed community hospital with Level 3 NICU/ER, an open ICU, and centers of excellence in neuroscience, orthopedics, and women's health, where residents manage patients from admission to discharge across nearly every department rather than competing with other residency programs for cases. Academic affiliations with both the University of Wisconsin and Medical College of Wisconsin support the curriculum despite the program's community setting, and the emphasis throughout is on full-spectrum family medicine (OB through geriatrics), early clinical autonomy paired with faculty support, and graduates who become community-oriented, service-driven full-spectrum practitioners rather than subspecialists. The program values self-directed learners who will commit to and shape an individualized area of expertise while maintaining broad generalist competence.
