From the Director
"Our program follows the tradition that makes Cheyenne such a unique community. Cheyenne is the home of the 'Daddy of ‘em all,' the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo. We have adopted a similar slogan regarding our training of family medicine resident physicians. We believe we are working with you to become the “Best All-Around”. This is similar to the cowboy, who at the end of the rodeo competition gets this prize for being the best over all roper, rider and the other events they must compete in to qualify. This is the cowboy who can do it all better than any other cowboy."
