Amery Fourth-Year Preceptorship in Family Medicine

The MD Program at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison offers a fourth-year family medicine preceptorship with Margie Peterson, MD, in Amery.

Welcome Message from Margie Peterson, MD

I have been a practicing family physician in Amery for the past 17 years, and have enjoyed living in this beautiful area of the state. A great number of changes have taken place during that time period in health care, and I am proud of the level of care that we are able to provide to our community. I have had an active role in the leadership of the medical center and was involved in the planning of our new facility. I look forward to working with medical students.
