A Message from our Director


 
 
 

Thank you for your interest in the Nor-Lea Family Medicine Residency Program. I’m Dr. Coombs, and I have the privilege of serving as Program Director.

At the heart of our program is a simple but powerful idea: exceptional training doesn’t require a big city, just a big purpose.

Nor-Lea is uniquely positioned at the intersection of rural intimacy and clinical breadth. Our residents become part of a tight-knit community, while having access to an incredible array of medical resources. Our unopposed program gives residents direct access to dozens of local specialists, the largest high-tech simulation labs in the region, and a full-spectrum cancer center. In this setting, you don’t compete for limited access, you are guaranteed access.

What sets our program apart isn’t simply what we offer, but more deeply, who we serve. This is a community that needs you. Residents with a passion for serving the underserved will not only find a rich and diverse patient population, but the kind of trust and gratitude that reminds us all why we chose medicine in the first place.

When you graduate from the Nor-Lea Family Medicine Residency Program, you’ll carry with you both knowledge and confidence. Confidence to practice anywhere and do anything. More importantly, you'll leave knowing that your work matters and your training prepared you to make a difference.

Seth Coombs, M.D. Program Director
