Clinic First


The clinic experience is the heart of VFM. We provide outstanding education through an ambulatory, team-focused and longitudinal training experience. Introduced in 1998, Clinic First is an innovative concept designed to maximize continuity of care between residents and their clinic patients. The Clinic First benefits are proven by data which show that improved patient continuity improves quality of care. Read more

Resident Wellness


Resident Wellness is built into our curriculum to give our residents the tools they need to be energized by their work and to continue to love what they do.

Anti-racism Vision Statement


We the faculty and residents of the Valley Family Medicine Residency Program recognize the deep impacts of systemic racism and oppression on the health and wellbeing of our community.

We pledge to engage in interpersonal work to hold ourselves and each other accountable as we strive toward becoming an anti-racist organization.

We commit to dismantling all forms of structural oppression through continued learning, thoughtful patient care, systems improvement, and advocacy.

We believe that our medical team should reflect and support the diversity of the population we serve, and we seek to break down barriers for those historically excluded from medical training.
