Special Features
The Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington family medicine residency program trains for the future of family medicine. Our philosophy of residency training recognizes the importance of training in a state-of-the-art primary care clinic. The residency is centered on the idea of "clinic first," where the residents' first priority is caring for their own panel of patients so that our graduates master the core skills of a family physician.
