We are pleased to announce that the Lincoln Family Medicine Residency Program's project, titled Healthy Adolescents in Our Neighborhood, has been selected to receive a 2017 Adolescent Immunization Grant Award in the amount of $11,200 from the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation. The AAFP Foundation Immunization Awards recognize Family Medicine residency programs for identifying and developing solutions to overcome barriers to immunizations and promote sharing of immunization best practices.

Since its inception in 1975, the Lincoln Family Medicine Program (LFMP) has established itself as one of the country's preeminent unopposed, community-based residency programs, attracting some of the brightest resident physicians in the U.S. and around the world. A fully accredited program, LFMP was established by the Lincoln Medical Education Partnership (LMEP) and is affiliated with the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

The Lincoln Family Medicine Program plays a crucial role in meeting the Midwest's need for primary care physicians. As a community-based residency program, over 250 community physicians will volunteer more than 40,000 teaching hours to our residents this year. The Lincoln Family Medicine Residency Program is a division of the Lincoln Medical Education Partnership (LMEP).

The physicians of the Lincoln Family Medicine Program provide care at the Lincoln Family Medicine Center located at 4600 Valley Road in Lincoln. The Lincoln Behavioral Health Center is also housed within the Residency Program and is located at the same address. It is staffed by faculty clinical psychologists.

The physicians of the Lincoln Family Medicine Center provide our patients with full-spectrum medical care. Each of our patients receive double benefits: Cutting edge medical treatment from recently graduated physicians, plus decades of experience from our supervising physicians. We are now accepting new patients. For more information, please visit http://www.LMEP.com or call (402) 483-4571.
