      Sutter Health Family Medicine Residency

      Our program is a stand-alone 21-resident, soon to be 27-resident, community-based program offering one of three tracks, with the addition of our new Sutter Amador Rural Training Track in June 2021. Residents complete core inpatient training in Sacramento during the first year, and continue their clinical experiences in either urban Sacramento, the nearby city of Davis, or rural Amador County. Each track has a separate match number.

      Since our inception in 1995, we have combined a strong core faculty, dedicated community preceptors, an innovative curriculum and award-winning medical centers so that our residents develop the skills they need to be outstanding family physicians and leaders. Our first-time board pass rate remains 100% since the inception of the program.

      Our core mission is to provide both cognitive and procedural training in a supportive environment, creating a solid foundation in Family Medicine that allows our graduates to provide full spectrum primary care to their chosen community. A typical day in our residents’ continuity clinic involves skin procedures, managing diabetes, inserting an IUD, providing prenatal care, performing musculoskeletal injection, doing a Medicare Wellness visit and finishing with well-child check. We offer full reproductive women's health with c-section privileged faculty and abortion training. Our continuity Family Medicine practices are truly “one stop shops” that serve diverse patient populations throughout the greater Sacramento region.

      Family Medicine is well respected within Sutter Health and Sutter Medical Group. Our graduates and faculty have held numerous leadership positions including Chief of Staff, Chair of Sutter Medical Group Board of Directors, Division Vice Presidents, Chair of Family Medicine, Wellness Champions and others.

      Over the last 25+ years, we have developed a culture of collaboration nurtured by our focus on wellness with protected time for didactics, resident support groups, team building, out-of-town retreats and more. In addition, we have a full-time, behavioral scientist core faculty member dedicated to ensuring the health and wellness of our residency program. We embrace diversity as a strength and place the well-being of residents, faculty and staff as our highest priority. Conveniently located in our state’s capital, we can also advocate for our patients and our profession.

      Of 140+ graduates - most of whom serve in Northern California in every type of practice from full spectrum Family Medicine with obstetrics to public health administration - all report that their training prepared them well for what came next. Our residents have a significant voice in fulfilling their educational goals. Whether your special interest is rural healthcare or integrative medicine or healthcare policy, our well-rounded program will help you reach your goals.
