Skagit Regional Health Program

Program Description

Skagit Regional Health's Family Medicine Residency Program is located in Mount Vernon, Washington in the beautiful Skagit Valley. We are located at the midpoint between Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, British Colombia and are adjacent to the San Juan Islands and North Cascades National Park for your outdoor adventure interests. Our twelve residents work together to care for patients throughout the spectrum of life. We are an ACGME Accredited Program with Osteopathic Recognition. Our mission is to improve health access and health status for rural, minority and underserved persons living in Washington by developing training programs for health professionals in our setting that serves those populations. Our program involves a mutually beneficial educational relationship between regional hospitals, clinics, providers and community health resources. We understand each of our residents has an individual learning style. Our faculty strives to help each resident find their special clinical interest in order to maximize individual growth. Our rotational curriculum is designed to ensure each resident has enough time to focus on their chosen area of clinical interest and still meet all the FM residency requirements for ACGME, as well as the board certification requirements of the ABFM and AOBFP.
