Monument Health announced that six physicians graduated from the Rapid City Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program on Friday, June 27. 

Each year the Family Medicine Residency Program accepts medical school graduates into a three-year program of training in a variety of family medicine roles with an emphasis on rural health care. This year’s graduates were honored at a ceremony at The Monument in Rapid City.
