LIGHT's family medicine (FM) residency program started in July 2002 and it is the core program of our organization.  Each year a small number of graduates from local medical schools are accepted into the residency program to be trained in a four-year specialization in family medicine.  Through these residents, it is our hope to train the next generation of high-level FM residents and to subsequently have an impact on the mid-level and low-level FM doctor training in China.  We believe this type of multi-level FM training is crucial to the development of a viable and effective medical system in today¡¯s China.

The training of our residents takes place in several locations and contexts in and around Shenyang City, such as hospitals, orphanages, countryside clinics, nursing homes, and LIGHT¡¯s international clinic.
