Hendersonville Family Medicine Residency

Celebrating 30 Years 1996-2026

Thirty years ago, Pardee and MAHEC joined together to develop a rural family medicine residency program in Hendersonville, NC, which welcomed its first cohort on July 1, 1996. This year, we are celebrating three decades of training family medicine physicians with a heart for serving rural communities in Western North Carolina.

Resident Testimonials

What makes the Hendersonville FM program so special?

"When people ask me what makes the program special, the best way I can describe it is as a mash-up between two TV shows: Scrubs and Ted Lasso. I feel like I'm having a very practical, real experience with accompanying humor, but the place feels like one of the most uplifting and positive environments I've ever been in."
— Nick Givens, Class of 2029

"There are many things that make this program special, but the one that stands out is how supportive and encouraging everyone has been—including the attending physicians, clinical staff, admin staff, other residents, faculty, and everyone in between."
— Edward Hugo, Class of 2029

Would you choose the Hendersonville FM program all over again?

"Every single time. There is no other program that compared to Hendersonville during my interview season. Our faculty, co-residents, and support staff all care for each other and for the patients with a level of respect I have rarely seen in other medical settings. This program also helps you to identify in what ways you want to grow and connects you to the right people and resources to get you there. I have no doubt that I can be an independent physician who works in a rural area when I graduate, as I feel comfortable with providing a broad array of care—including pediatric, OB, GYN, SUD, palliative, ICU level care, and more."
— Abigail Mohr, Class of 2028

"Yes, I would absolutely choose Hendersonville again. I feel grateful to be given the opportunity to complete my residency here with faculty, fellow residents, and staff who are supportive, encouraging, and dedicated to my learning and growth. In my third year, I have been set up to feel prepared with resources, tools, mentors, and strategies to practice on my own."
— Allison Weening, Class of 2027

What makes Hendersonville, NC, a great place to practice medicine?

"This is a small-town, community hospital where you can really get to know the people you work with and the patients you serve. It has a good balance of full-scope medicine with access to crucial specialist input when needed (rural, but not TOO rural)."
— Louisa Boswell, Class of 2028

"We treat a wide population with a variety of high levels of acuity that set us up well to go into practice after graduation. Hendersonville itself is a wonderful community to live in with a beautiful surrounding environment and lots of fun activities to do."
— Julia Long, Class of 2029

"Hendersonville is a great rural program. We have a nice blend of inpatient training as well as outpatient training at an FQHC. I love all my patients but am especially proud to be taking care of so many migrant farmworkers."
— Constance Fontanet, Class of 2028

What kind of relationship do the faculty have with residents?

"Amazing! I love having a professional relationship where I can look up to them and see how I want to perform later as a physician in my own practice. But I also know I can reach out to them outside of work for anything I would need."
— Charlotte Graham, Class of 2027

"Faculty consistently treat residents like colleagues. I am often asked questions, and I feel that my opinions and thoughts are valued. I am given room and autonomy to make my own decisions for patients, which makes me feel a great amount of ownership for my patients' care."
— Emma Doyle, Class of 2027
