Broad Clinical Experiences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We train lifelong, adaptive learners who are prepared to work in any future environment. Our longitudinal curriculum effectively simulates the day-to-day experience of a full-spectrum family medicine physician, filled with a variety of experiences and patient encounters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are deeply committed to helping each resident discover and pursue the areas of medicine that inspire them. We empower residents to shape their training with our pathways<\/a> and build the career that fits their goals and passions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuity Clinic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The heart of our curriculum is the Family Medicine Residency Center, where residents practice four half-days per week all three years. Residents learn how to care for patients of all ages and needs while gaining clinical experiences that vary from wellness visits to maternity care to management of complex medical conditions. Outpatient procedures are performed within the Residency Center in one of the spacious procedure rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents integrate time in the clinic with mini-blocks and longitudinal rotations, giving variety to their days and simulating their future practice in a rural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orientation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start of employment in late June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core Skills Month<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Month of July in PGY1 year. The experience will include varied settings of classroom didactics, hands-on skill training with both standardized patients and models, continuity outpatient clinic, POCUS workshop, and introduction to different services throughout the community where residents will be living and working. Certifications including ACLS, BLS, PALS, ALSO, and NRP will be obtained during core skills rotation as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rotations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All residents will be dual licensed through both the state of Washington and the state of Idaho as the Pullman Regional Hospital network extends across state lines.<\/p>\n\n\n
