The University of Washington Family Medicine Residency is three programs under one UW Residency umbrella. In Seattle, there are two distinct programs: UWPC Northgate and Harborview Medical Center. Our third program is our Chelan Rural Training Track Program. Each program has a unique NRMP match ID noted above.
The two Seattle-based programs are differentiated primarily based on the location of the continuity clinic. At the University of Washington Primary Care Northgate Clinic, the patient population represents a traditional spectrum of ages, incomes, and ethnic backgrounds, in a patient-centered medical home model. The Harborview clinic provides care for a predominately urban underserved, ethnically diverse population and provides targeted training for residents who intend to work in community health centers. The overall educational curriculum is the same for residents in both programs.
The Chelan Rural Training Track Program is a rural underserved training experience that is designed to prepare physicians for practice in rural communities. Chelan residents spend their first year in Seattle completing the core inpatient curriculum nearly identical to the Seattle-based residents before they move to Chelan for their final two years of Residency. There is a separate interview process and interview days for the Chelan Rural Training Track Program. To apply to our Chelan Rural Training Track in ERAS please search for University of Washington School of Medicine Rural Program with the NRMP Program Code 1918120C2.
For applicants interested in our Seattle-based programs, we will offer information for both Programs during the interview day, so applicants do not need to decide prior to interviews which Program is more suited to your individual interests and goals. You are free apply to both Programs and use the interview day to help you understand each Program in more detail. The Programs have separate match numbers and applicants can list either or both tracks on their match list in the order desired. We develop separate match lists for each track. We encourage you to contact us for more information if you are making decisions.
