Conroe Family Medicine Residency Program Graduates 39 th Class

CONROE, TEXAS – The Conroe Family Medicine Residency Program (CFMR), celebrated its 39 th graduating class of resident physicians during a ceremony at Lone Star Family Health Center June 23, 2023. The commemoration also served as a welcome for the incoming class of 12 new resident physicians. “Part of the mission of Lone Star Family Health Center is preparing tomorrow's family medicine professionals,” said Karen Harwell, CEO of Lone Star Family Health Center. “CFMR attracts thousands of the best medical school graduates from across the world that come to train and take care of our patients in Conroe under the supervision of highly qualified supervising physicians.” CFMR is a program sponsored by the Conroe Medical Education Foundation and jointly operated by Lone Star Family Health Center and HCA Houston Healthcare Conroe. The program began in 1979, has graduated over 280 residents since inception and is fully accredited by the accreditation council of graduate medical education (ACGME). “Residents trained in programs like ours, a community-based program treating mainly underserved patients, are more likely to work in underserved areas after graduation and be involved in public policy and advocacy efforts relating to their patients,” said Dr. Lata Joshi, program director of Conroe Family Medicine Residency. “Our unique approach to physician training magnifies the positive economic impact on the healthcare system as a whole.” Resident physicians receive full spectrum “hands-on” training in a congenial and collegial environment and learn to deliver cost-effective treatment while integrating the most advanced concepts in the medical field. Welcomed into the program are Angela Chen, M.D., Savannah Cruz, M.D., Margot Favret, M.D., Amir Hossian, D.O., Brandon Limas, D.O., Cassidy Miller, D.O., Joanna Moore, M.D., MPH, Hurr Murtaza, D.O., Gideon Oyekanmi, M.D., Kaitlin Tabula, D.O., Katie Vu, D.O. and Kevin Windecker, M.D. For more information, contact Courtney Galle, marketing and communications manager, at [email protected] or 936-521-8465.
