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.
Samaritan is pleased to be a clinical training site for third and fourth year medical students. We provide medical students with extensive clinical rotation experiences, including unencumbered access to attending physicians, a diverse didactic curriculum and exposure to simulation training.
We will begin accepting rotation requests on Feb. 1, 2026 for rotations beginning on July 1, 2026.
Rotations at Samaritan Health Services are available in a wide variety of primary care and specialty areas and is proud to be involved with medical student training, offering:
We participate in ERAS and the NRMP Match. To be considered for an interview, applicants must submit the following through ERAS:
Applicants selected for interviews will be notified by email. All interviews are conducted virtually.
In addition to the materials listed above, international medical graduates (IMGs) must provide ECFMG certification.
Applicants who are not U.S. citizens must possess permanent resident status by the start of residency training. Samaritan does not sponsor J-1 or H-1B visas.
We generally consider applicants who graduated from medical school within five years of the anticipated residency start date.
Applicants who graduated more than five years before the start of residency may still be considered. In these cases, we look for clear evidence of ongoing clinical engagement, continued professional excellence and first-attempt passage of USMLE or COMLEX examinations.
Every application meeting our initial eligibility criteria receives a comprehensive review. To support this process, we may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help organize and evaluate application materials. AI is used only as a supplemental tool and is not used to make final decisions regarding interview invitations, ranking or selection.
