NCFM offers rotations in Outpatient Family Medicine, as well as subinternships in Inpatient Adult Medicine, Inpatient Obstetrics/Newborn and Inpatient Pediatrics. Rotations are also offered in both of our Rural Training Track Program sites at Wray, CO and Sterling, CO. Each of these rotations are with our family medicine teams which consist of family medicine residents and family physician faculty.
