    Program Description

    The Onvida Health Family & Community Medicine Residency is the charter post graduate medical education program in our dynamic regional medical center that serves the 200,000 citizens of Yuma County. Recognized as the sunniest place in the country, Yuma is unique due to its unusual geographic location which combines the energy and innovation of a metropolitan community with the friendly, caring atmosphere of a small town. Yuma County covers an expansive area and the many medically underserved people and the substantial migration of winter visitors provide a wide range of healthcare challenges and disease states from which our residents gain in-depth, hands on experience. The residency program aims to prepare physicians to provide family-centered, community-integrated care. Our curriculum emphasizes conscientious, evidence based healthcare and critical awareness of the role of the family physician in the continuum of care for families in our community and region.
