Leadership Opportunities
A two-day Lead Resident Development course is offered to incoming Leads every spring. The group gets a chance to meet each other and talk directly and privately to outgoing Leads.
WWAMI PRactice OPPORTUNITIES
As you near completion of your residency training, stay informed of practice openings and advanced fellowship training opportunities for family physicians throughout the WWAMI region.
Innovative Models of Care and REsearch
WWAMI residency programs are developing patient centered medical homes in training programs. A residency-based practice research network is active and involves residents at many sites.
Emphasis on Evidence-Based Practice
For the last 15 years we have been training faculty and providing resources to ensure that when there is good evidence you know where to find it and how to apply it to your patients. Each program has developed its own ways to teach EBP and sharing methods is encouraged.
Administration SYSTEMS
Access to New Innovations, a web-based residency administration software suite used all across the Network for scheduling, evaluations, conferences, curricula and other program activities. The system allows programs to learn best practices from each other.
