FMSW's physician faculty of 13 includes 9 family physicians with OB privileges, one Internist who is board certified in Endocrinology, one PharmD Pharmacist, one Behavioral Scientist, and two Physician Assistants. The Family Medicine Center is a 18,500 sq.ft. clinic, and resident "home base". It serves 12,500 patients. While clinic patients represent all walks of life, approximately 70 percent are Medicare, Medicaid, underserved, disabled, Latino, and Russian-speaking segments of our community. FMSW faculty and residents provide 36,000 outpatient and 7,000 inpatient visits annually, in a successful, innovative Advanced Access care model, with team-based chronic disease management programs for Diabetes, Asthma, and Medical Management of Chronic pain. We also do diabetic group visits. With the anticipated "go live" of GE Centricity EMR in the early Spring of 2009, FMSW will have completed integrating all the elements of the TransforMed Medical Home model (http://www.transformed.com/).  Our residents have been trained in the "New Model" since 2004 when we launched our Advanced Access clinic environment  www.ihi.org/IHI/Topics/OfficePractices/Access/HowToImprove/ .
