Billings Clinic starting Internal Medicine Residency Program

With primary care physicians so hard to come by, Billings Clinic http://www.billingsclinic.com has come up with an innovative solution.

It plans to grow its own.

The Clinic is developing an internal-medicine residency program that at full capacity could be producing as many as six new doctors a year.

The hope is that those new doctors will choose to practice in Montana where most counties have a shortage of primary care physicians and 10 counties have no physician at all.
