About the program
Union Hospital Family Medicine Residency (Terre Haute, IN) was created in 1976 and has been ACGME-accredited since inception. It is a three-year program based in a 24,000 sq ft Family Medicine Center connected to Union Hospital, with continuity clinic at an FQHC (Valley Professionals Community Health Center-Terre Haute, about 1,800 visits/month). The site lists 21 residents (seven per class), nine full-time faculty and 239 graduates. Training includes rural health clinics, Union Hospital Clinton, street medicine and community outreach clinics, and a required procedure list with advanced optional procedures. The program no longer sponsors H-1B or J-1 visas.

Program highlights
- Continuity clinic is at an FQHC: residents carry 50-75 families in year 1, 125 in year 2 and 200 in year 3, with obstetrics included. Ask how panel growth and clinic half-days (1-2, 2-3, then 4 per week) are protected during inpatient blocks.
- Night coverage is graded by year: about 45 nights in year 1, 35 in year 2, 17 in year 3, as 13-hour in-house shifts (6PM-7AM) supervised by upper-level residents. Emphasise readiness to run admissions, codes and pediatrics progressively.
- Required procedure list (skin biopsy, joint injection, IUD/implant, laceration repair, toenail procedures, x-ray interpretation) plus advanced optional procedures such as colonoscopy, EGD, vasectomy, central lines and colposcopy. Ask how to reach advanced procedures and how many are logged by graduation.
- Community engagement is described as required, not elective: street medicine, free clinics, substance use treatment support and rural sites (Union Hospital Clinton). Align your story with underserved, rural and addiction-medicine interest.
- Interview preferences stated on site: fewer than three failures on any USMLE Step or COMLEX level, strong written commitment to family medicine, and at least one letter from a family medicine experience; IMGs prefer 6 months of US/Canada/UK clinical experience.
- Visa note: the program no longer sponsors H-1B or J-1, so IMG applicants should confirm status early.
