Montana Family Medicine Residency programs attracts record number of applicants

An unprecedented number of young doctors — more than 920 from all over the globe — have applied for one of eight spots in the Montana Family Residency Program at RiverStone Health http://www.riverstonehealth.org/EducationResearch/MontanaFamilyMedicineResidency/tabid/99/Default.aspx .

The spike is due primarily to health care reform, said Dr. Roxanne Fahrenwald, program director.
