Providence-WSU Internal Medicine Center
The Providence-WSU Internal Medicine Center is the residency’s flagship continuity clinic site located on campus at Providence Regional Medical Center-Everett. Empaneled patients comprise a broad payor mix of approximately one-third Medicare, one-third Medicaid, and one-third either private insurance or enrolled in Providence financial assistance. The patients reflect the cultural and linguistic diversity of Snohomish County and residents get experience partnering with people from a variety of backgrounds. Our patients tend to experience more medical and social complexity than in a typical primary care clinic, so residents get ample experience managing high acuity issues in primary care and navigating the social determinants of health. Additionally, residents are supported by an in-house multidisciplinary clinic team including medical assistants, registered nurses, as well as members from the following disciplines: social work, pharmacy, care management, integrated behavioral health. Alongside the WSU IM Outpatient Core Faculty, community preceptors supervise our residents and provide additional mentorship informed by their clinical practice and career interests.
