Mission Argument

To serve the needs of our community by providing innovative and excellent resident grooming through outstanding patient care.

Plan Overview

The Swedish Medical Center Family unit Medicine Residency is an ACGME approved three-year training program committed to excellence in pedagogy and practicing family unit medicine in both hospital and part settings.

Six residents are accepted into the get-go year of preparation. The curriculum incorporates all requirements of the American Board of Family unit Medicine and is subject to continuing review and modification.

The residency program was set up to model the daily life of a family physician. This is achieved by the extensive fourth dimension delivery to patient care at the Swedish Family Medical Center (SFMC) throughout the three years of the residency, and through a single integrated Inpatient Service (IPS).

The IPS provides the continuity opportunities of non-rotational programs but retains the strengths of in-depth exposure to different disciplines inherent in traditional rotational programs. This longitudinal training mode gives the resident real-life exposure to the broad concerns of a family unit medicine provider.

The residents spend approximately 40 percent of their time at SFMC beginning their outset yr, learning to provide patient care in the context of family and customs in a truly continuous fashion. Residents are expected to demonstrate an awareness of the ethical, moral and legal values of practicing family medicine while communicating professionally and effectively with their patients, staff, peers and others involved with patient care.

Our programme maximizes educational fourth dimension with family physicians, provides an early accent on ambulatory training, and offers a preparation model which provides a more than realistic approximation of real-life family unit medicine than traditional specialty-based rotational models.

Residents and kinesthesia run into their ain patients at the role during ii to five one-half-twenty-four hours blocks per week. Kinesthesia attendings are readily available equally preceptors with a ratio of 3 residents to one preceptor.

Our Vision:

SFMR'due south curriculum is designed to offer residents a rewarding, educational environment where individualized learning opportunities are provided by faculty and staff who support and sustain one another while providing high quality care. Our kinesthesia are committed to ensuring the residents' clinical experience and educational needs are fulfilled while expanding residents' perspectives to exist inclusive of patients' cultures, values, and ethics.
