OUR BEGINNING
The Conroe Family Medicine Residency Program was originally founded in 1979 as the “Montgomery County Medical Education Foundation” by a team of physicians who set out to establish a Family Medicine residency program in the local area. Our first three residents graduated in June 1985.
We proudly partnered with the University of Texas Health Science center from 1983-1994, and the University of Texas Medical Branch from 1994-2000. Today, our residency program is sponsored by Conroe Medical Education Foundation and is fully accredited with commendation by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
With the commitment of our training physicians combined with our intensive program has graduated residents with a 100% pass rate on Board Certification Examination offered by the American Board of Family Medicine.
AN INSPIRATIONAL OUTLOOK
The Conroe Family Medicine Residency Program is excited about the future in our mission to produce the best and most experienced physicians. We are pleased to have support from Houston Healthcare – Conroe, Conroe Medical Education Foundation, and Lone Star Family Health Center, as well as from our local community. This independent sponsorship enables greater operational control, both educationally and financially, and ultimately allows us to continue to grow and evolve the program – ensuring our residents obtain top tier & competitive training. To date, we are nationally recognized as a Teaching Health Center in
Graduate Medical Education, and because our facility is designated as Federally Qualified Health Center, we can also offer wide range of additional services.
We are proud to offer two unique training tracks in our residency program one to the “Underserved” to focus on caring for the lower income and poverty population and “Obstetrical” to focus on the family planning and women’s health.
