CWFM offers unopposed residency training in a culturally diverse community well suited to provide a rich learning environment for family physicians as Yakima is a regional referral center for medical services. The medical staff of the sponsoring institutions provide and teach state-of-the-art medicine, while the surrounding rural service area offers the opportunity to prepare graduates for medicine outside the medical center experience.
