St Peter Hospital (Chehalis) Family Medicine Program

Program Description

As a Rural Training Program, residents complete their first-year hospital rotations with the St. Peter Family Medicine Interns at Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia, WA. Second and third-year hospital rotations are done predominately at Providence Centralia Hospital. Continuity clinic starts in the first year at Providence Chehalis Family Medicine to integrate residents into the rural community. Emphasis on Continuity Clinic with a PCMH: Residents have the opportunity to work with a tight-knit group to help care for an underserved rural population through a team-based approach. Pharmacy and Behavioral Health are integrated seamlessly in our clinic. Residents have full days in clinic even in their intern year during hospital rotations so that the clinic can be their home base. Residents participate in several specialty clinics including Procedure Clinic, Outpatient Based Opioid Treatment Clinic, Osteopathic Manipulation Clinic and Psychiatric Consult Clinic. Full Spectrum Training with Strong Obstetrical Training: Residents have inpatient rotations in all three years to develop the skills to continue practicing full-spectrum medicine post-graduate. While at Providence Centralia Hospital, there are no other residents other than our program. Residents enjoy the autonomy they are given while working in a community hospital. Wellness Curriculum: We believe that burnout is a serious problem among physicians and that wellness is key to longevity and enjoyment in the field of family medicine. We believe happy residents will love where they train and stay and practice nearby. As such, we have a robust wellness curriculm in which residents and faulty learn alongside each other how to manage the pressures of the modern medical environment.
