Balance between professional and personal time, health and wellness 

Residencies can be challenging. Your life will be busy. But, do not fear ... our program will strive to ensure access to activities that provide a release from the stressors of your rigorous work-and-learn schedule. Training on prioritization and time management will help you maximize work-life balance. You will find balance in a number of ways:

  • Community. Our residency program is situated in a metropolitan area which ideally melds the culture of the fifth-largest U.S. city with unmatched climate, natural beauty, and outdoor activities.
  • Retreats. We offer retreats that will take you out of rotation mode to give your mind and body the rest it needs.
  • Surroundings. Our beautiful, new, fully-equipped resident lounge can simultaneously inspire productivity and relaxation. Fashioned to feel more like "home" than office, it provides a large-screen television, kitchen and meeting space. 

Inclusion and diversity programs for nurturing your journey 

Providing equitable, compassionate, and outcomes-oriented community health care is the top priority in our Family Medicine Residency Program. We teach you to provide care based on Humankindness and as a resident, you can expect that same Humankindness to be extended to you by faculty and peers. Diversity and inclusion play a significant role in Humankindness! We are excited to have a group of unique individuals who see themselves as part of a TEAM and who are willing to share their ideas and talents with others.

Humankindness woven into team and leadership and leadership development 

You hold the power to heal. You have a real impact on the health of the people around you. We all do. Which is why modern medicine is ripe for a change in perspective.

Because each of us is human and our body, mind, and spirit is one and the same. So if our mind is calmer becuase we feel we are being taken care of by those around us, our body responds. Stress levels go down and we can heal faster.

This is the true power of humankindness. It's the effect we can have on one another when we reach out and help ease each other's pain. These beliefs are at the very core of our mission and have been for over 100 years, which is why we aim for nothing less than to inspire change in health care that leads to more empathy, listening and respect. Alongside the latest in technology and medical breakthroughs. we can champion the healer in all of us. Not just because it's nice, but because it's good for us.

At Dignity Health, humankindness is more than a tagline. It’s the way we practice health care. Hello humankindness invites us all to recognize and relish the moving, joyful and healing power of our own humanity. At its heart is the guiding belief that humanity holds the power to heal. Dozens of medical studies have confirmed that even simple acts of humanity can have a powerful, measurable effect on healing. Knowing this, we believe that our purpose is to unleash the healing power of humanity. We want to foster the ability in all of us to heal, nourish, protect, and support the body, mind, and spirit.
