The Sutter Health Network

Sutter Roseville Medical Center is part of the award-winning Sutter Health integrated network of care. Nearly three million patients benefit from connected care at affiliated facilities across the Bay Area and Sacramento Valley. Sutter’s decades-long investment in graduate-level medical education and established institutional accreditation through the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) provide a solid foundation for new residency programs at Sutter Roseville. Existing residency programs within the health system include family medicine in Sacramento, Davis, Amador and Santa Rosa, as well as internal medicine, ophthalmology and psychiatry at CPMC.

The leadership, providers and staff in the Sutter Health network are committed to fostering a positive, supportive environment for training tomorrow’s successful physicians. Sutter Roseville Medical Center and Sutter Health advance and encourage a culturally diverse and inclusive environment with a focus on recruitment, selection and retention of a diverse cohort, who are all empowered to reach their full potential.
