Each member of our Family Medicine program faculty was chosen for his or her energy and experience in mentoring residents, supporting innovative didactics and garnering quality patient outcomes in their own practices. Our caring faculty will help guide our incoming, first-year residents in the transition from medical student to physician.
By supporting your research and answering your every question, faculty will help you develop a holistic skill set, from clinical skills to practical techniques and bedside manner. Our interactions will also equip you with skills you will need to maintain a healthy balance in your lives. Faculty will engage with you and with our patient population with the humankindness you would only find from Dignity Health.
