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.
We participate in the ERAS program and the NRMP match process. To be considered for admission to the class of 2028, the following materials are required to be submitted through ERAS:

In addition to the items listed above, IMG applicants are also required to submit the ECFMG Certification.
