The Samaritan Family Medicine Residency Rural Training Program is located on the Oregon coast in Newport. The newly renovated training hospital, Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital, overlooks the Pacific Ocean and the beautiful Yaquina Bay.During your residency, you will be part of caring for an underserved population of coastal patients located throughout Lincoln County. We are passionate about community engagement and are consistently exploring ways to serve those in our communities. You will also have an active participation through the Pacific Communities Health District Foundation Board in exploring opportunities to provide care to this specific population.
We 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. It is our mission to develop family medicine physicians who are competent, confident, and compassionate, while positively effecting change in their environment.
Our first intern class matched in 2022 as a 1-2 program. The first year of residency training will take place in Corvallis, Oregon, at the Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, with the last two years of training in Newport, Oregon. You will have the benefit of developing a strong network of faculty and residents in both locations.
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.
“I am absolutely thrilled with the addition of the Family Medicine Rural Training track. This project has been in the works for a few years now – it’s been an idea for much longer. The program has full community, leadership and medical staff support. We can’t wait to have our first group of residents come join our energetic and passionate family medicine team. We’re eager to experience the positive impacts that this residency will bring to the community and see how our community shapes the future leaders that we’re developing.”

The Samaritan Family Medicine residency trains our residents to care for patients from all walks of life. We are committed to recruiting a diverse group of physicians to our program, and we are mindful of all aspects of identity, including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender and gender expression, religion/spiritual practice, and age. We are committed to increasing the diversity of our residents and faculty in the years to come, ensuring the success of our trainees who come from backgrounds underrepresented in medicine, and educating our residents on the inequities that patients continue to experience.
The curriculum is divided into 13 block rotations with longitudinal elements embedded throughout training. This residency program is developing an interleaved curriculum which will provide a full-spectrum family medicine experience. Didactics will be weekly and periodically combined with the Family Medicine Program in Corvallis.
