    What Our Residents Are Saying

    “I was drawn to the program's full-scope family practice and ability to have early hands-on experience. Although we are a fairly newer program, we are still very much growing and able to accommodate what every resident needs to succeed in the future.”

    - Victoria Amelyanchyk, MD, Chief Resident, Class of 2026

    About Our Program

    residency classroom

    Residents will undertake a robust curriculum of classroom studies and clinical rotations, working alongside expert instructors and physicians from a variety of specialties. Owensboro Health Medical Group physicians enthusiastically support this effort and are actively involved with resident training. Our residents will be trained to deliver compassionate multidisciplinary team care utilizing our NCQA recognized Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model. 

    In August 2025, our Residency Program was granted the status of "Osteopathic Recognition" by the ACGME. This designation means our program has the curriculum and training necessary for our graduates to be recognized as competent in Osteopathic principles.

    Facilities

    The Owensboro Health / University of Louisville Family Medicine Residency clinic and headquarters are located at the East Parrish Campus, which is a 10-minute commute to Owensboro Health Regional Hospital, where most of the clinical rotations will take place. Newly opened in 2013, our flagship facility is licensed for 477 beds and is nationally recognized for its design, architecture and engineering. 

    On average each year, Owensboro Health has more than 18,000 inpatient admissions, delivers 2,500 babies and provides the region’s only Level III NICU. Owensboro Health physicians perform more than 32,000 surgical procedures, have more than 96,000 Emergency Department visits and nearly 1.5 million outpatient visits annually.

    Clinical Rotations

    Resident rotations also include outpatient facilities and physician offices, nursing homes, and our Health Department, as well as an out-of-town inpatient pediatric rotation in Louisville at Norton Children’s Hospital. Most rotations are four weeks in length with longitudinal requirements of in-home visits, maternity care and nursing home.
