    Program Description

    The Sierra Nevada Family Medicine Residency Program is rural training program based out of the Dignity Health Methodist Hospital of Sacramento Family Medicine Residency Program. Residents complete their intern year at Methodist Hospital and Mercy Family Medical Clinic in Sacramento, CA. In their 2nd and 3rd years residents train in the rural, historic town of Grass Valley, CA at Chapa-De Indian Health Clinic (Tribal FQHC), Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital and local subspecialty outpatient offices. The program features a challenging inpatient heavy intern year to prepare residents for their rural training in PGY-2 and PGY-3. We are dedicated to work-life balance in scenic Nevada County. Lake Tahoe and the Sierra foothills have numerous skiing, snowboarding, hiking, running, fishing, boating, rafting and kayaking opportunities less than an hour away. The program prides itself in treatment of the underserved, strong addiction and full spectrum outpatient care.
