Our 2024 Family Medicine Faculty

Distinctive curriculum for distinctive residency experiences.

Our innovative new Family Medicine residency program trains prospective physicians in academic medicine centers, hospital settings, and in the community. 

Our faculty knows that optimal learning and mentoring relies on listening. Residents want to be heard, respected and supported on their journey to become competent family physicians. Faculty will engage with you, our patient population, and others on the care team with the humankindness you will only find from Dignity Health. Our culture is one of support and collaboration. Each of our resident's success is our success.

These aren’t the only reasons why our residency program stands out.

Curriculum innovations

Our innovative two-week mini-block approach, with rare exceptions, allows our residents to spend every other two-week block in our newly constructed, state-of-the-art, Family Medicine Practice Center.

Holistic training for holistic care 

In addition to our family physicians, you will experience training from a behaviorist, psychiatric nurse practitioner and clinical pharmacist. Having these professionals rounds out our full orbed approach to true family medicine patient care.

Medical record pilots

A unique collaboration between Dignity Health Informatics team and with Cerner to pilot new capabilities for EHR efficiencies adds another ground-floor opportunity for your participation.

Practice at the top of your license 

You will work side-by-side with Arizona State University undergraduate health students, who will assist us in delivering the highest level of service and patient care, while enabling you - our residents - and faculty to focus on working at the top of your license.

Dynamic didactics

During our Family Medicine blocks, Friday mornings  are reserved for our didactic sessions spread over the three-year program. These sessions cover a broad range of Family Medicine topics and include traditional lectures, hands-on workshops and discussion sessions. 

We host a weekly conference that includes resident-led journal clubs and case conferences. 

You also receive instruction on inpatient and specialty rotations from attendings who love to teach.
