Family Medicine Residency Program
Welcome to Our Program
The Samaritan Family Medicine Residency Program is in the heart of the Willamette Valley in Oregon, located 30 minutes south of Salem and nestled between the Coastal Range and the Cascade Mountains.
During your residency, you will be part of Patient Centered Medical Homes serving patients in the surrounding communities. We care for a population of patients who live in wide range of communities including underserved, rural and suburban. We are passionate about community engagement and are consistently exploring ways to serve those in our communities.
We aim to recruit and mentor emotionally intelligent residents who are curious, motivated, growth oriented, and resilient as they develop the skills and knowledge to care for all patients across the lifespan.
We look forward to getting to meeting you!
Meet the Faculty & Residents
Our residents are an exemplary group with diverse interests within the scope of family medicine.
Our faculty are equally diverse in interests and style. We are fortunate to have a large group of committed and excellent practitioners dedicated to educating the next generation of family physicians. We continually hear feedback from rotating students and residents expressing excitement to have worked with our passionate and energetic attending family physicians.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Curriculum
The current curriculum is a divided into 13 academic blocks per year with longitudinal elements embedded throughout your three years of training. There are longitudinal experiences in leadership, inpatient medicine, pediatrics, geriatrics and osteopathic manipulative medicine.
Communities We Serve
We are one program with two continuity clinic site locations in Corvallis and Lebanon.
Most of the rotations during the first year are done in Corvallis. During second and third year, all residents will have opportunities to rotate in the three communities, as well as our coastal sites in Lincoln City and Newport, while continuing to manage their patient panel in their own continuity clinic site.
All of our continuity clinics are Patient-Centered Medical Homes with additional support staff to help care for our patients. This includes mental health specialists, nutritionists, pharmacists, care coordinators and others.
Explore Our Region
The Willamette Valley is filled with a variety of activities and outdoor adventures, ranging from hiking and mountain biking to mellow floats down the river in the summer. In the winter, you can enjoy a day or weekend ski trip to one of several ski areas in the Oregon Cascades.
Corvallis also has a great variety of food options ranging from French pastries in the morning to late-night burritos, as well as several breweries, wineries and a local cider house. We even have a Farmer’s Market on Saturday with lots of local produce, farm-raised meats and bakeries selling fresh breads and treats that you can enjoy in one of the surrounding parks.
Corvallis is also home to the Oregon State Beavers and we have the opportunity to go to various Pac-12 sporting events. One of our favorites is when the Oregon Ducks come over to challenge us in the ‘Rivalry Game’ and the town shows up for an electrifying game!
