"The quick commute to the clinic and Yakima hospitals is an added advantage of the residency program. I get to spend more time with my family."

Central Washington Family Medicine's graduate medical education
program is affiliated with the University
of Washington School of Medicine's top ranked Department of Family Medicine and is accredited
by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.The internship year is also approved by the American Osteopathic Association.
Central Washington Family Medicine offers an exceptional family
medicine residency in a community setting; there are no other
residency programs in the Yakima Valley.
The program, established in 1992, is sponsored by Yakima Valley Memorial
Hospital and Yakima Regional Medical and Cardiac Center.
The Yakima community provides a rich learning environment for
family physicians. Yakima is a regional referral center for
Central Washington, with open heart surgery,dialysis,a level 3 neonatal intensive care unit and oncology services.
The medical staffs of the two Yakima hospitals provide and teach
state-of-the-art medicine, while the surrounding rural service
area offers important opportunities which prepare graduates
for smaller community medicine.
Central Washington Family Medicine is a Federally Qualified
Health Center clinic. The residency program is housed within
the CWFM Family Medicine Center. Located about one mile from
each of the hospitals, the center is the most important education
and learning site for residents. The 30,392-square foot facility
includes resident and faculty offices, classroom, library and
administration offices. The clinic has 30 exam rooms, three
minor procedure rooms, on-site lab, x-ray and pharmacy services.
About half of the resident's time during the three years of
training is spent in the community clinic. Each resident is
responsible for the care of his/her panel of patients. The patient
population represents the cultural, socio-economic and demographic
diversity of the Yakima Valley.
The residency is a training site for the University of Washington
Medical School's required 3rd year Family Medicine Clerkship
and an elective family medicine 4th year sub-internship. We
also provide training for doctor of pharmacy, nursing and other
medically-related students.
Please contact us if you have further questions about the program, Yakima or the application process. We invite you to learn, serve and enjoy in Central Washington!
