Selection Criteria

The Family Medicine Residency Program seeks collaborative, community-minded primary care physicians who are interested in providing excellent, evidence-based care to Washington’s rural and underserved communities. Residents learn from and teach others in an environment that is respectful and cooperative. 

All positions are offered through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). The program does not offer any pre-match positions. Any information submitted outside of ERAS cannot be accepted. International graduates are encouraged to apply; however, we only accept the J-1 visa at this time.

    1. In addition to Faculty Interview Sessions, each applicant is able to sign up for a Resident Meet-and-Greet which generally occurs over the lunch hour. The purpose of these sessions is for applicants to get to know the current residents, ask questions about the program with only resident input, and see the culture of our program as residents interact while eating their lunch. These sessions are completely optional but highly recommended for low-pressure, fun mealtime chats.
