The Butler Track offers a unique opportunity for residents to train in Butler Memorial Hospital’s innovative Family Medicine Residency Program, where patient-centered care and continuity of care are at the heart of the educational experience.

Designed to prepare the next generation of community-focused family physicians, the Butler Track combines rigorous academic training with hands-on patient care experiences across Butler County. Residents work as part of multidisciplinary care teams and benefit from longitudinal learning opportunities that strengthen their ability to manage patients across all stages of life.
