Ten new doctors have begun training in St. Elizabeth Medical Center's Family Medicine Residency Program.

The physicians will train and provide care at St. E's. the St. Elizabeth Women's Health Center, the Sister Rose Vincent Family Medicine Center on Hobart Street and at Faxton-St. Luke's Healthcare.

The Family Medicine Residency has 30 residents in training, 10 in each of the three year programs.

"The Residency Program has brought more than 100 primary care physicians to the Central New York State region since its inception in 1975-76," said Dr. Mark Warfel, Residency Program Director. "Nearly half of the 257 family physicians completing the program have settled in Upstate New York, helping to alleviate a shortage of physicians."
