Ellensburg Residents

The Central Washington Family Medicine Residency Program recruits a diverse group of resident physicians. These self-directed learners bring a wide range of experience, interest and future practice plans.

Committed to Excellence

Our program is committed to academic excellence as demonstrated by its affiliation with University of Washington Department of Family Medicine, Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences, and Washington State University Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine. Community physicians provide and teach state-of-the-art medicine in both the outpatient and inpatient settings.

In our community-based residency program, we train patient-centered, culturally-sensitive, compassionate family medicine physicians to provide quality care to the diverse patient population in Central Washington and beyond.

“My approach to patient care is to build an open and trusting relationship. I hope to foster this by creating a safe space within each patient-doctor relationship. My goal is that each patient feels heard and included in decisions.”

I am drawn to CWFM because it has a very strong program in obstetrics. I will be able to receive the rural healthcare training I need in Ellensburg to be a competent rural physician while being exposed to a higher volume of patients and diseases in Yakima. Read Bio
