What training does your program provide that residents can‘t get anywhere else?

The University of Washington is a service mission-based program with an academic focus and lens. We are dedicated toward improving the communities we serve through training exceptional clinicians who are prepared to thrive in any clinical environment.

We have four core training sites that provide exceptional depth and breadth. Our residents train at Harborview Medical Center, a Level 1 trauma center and the county hospital for King County; The University of Washington, a quaternary care hospital with highly complex patient care; Seattle Children’s Hospital, and Valley Medical Center, a high-volume community hospital.

Three of these hospitals (Harborview, The University of Washington, and Seattle Children’s) are referral hospitals for Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho. If patients from these states are too complex to be cared for in their communities, they are transferred to our care. This means our residents see a variety of traumatic injuries, complicated and complex pathology, and learn to care for patients from a variety of cultures and living environments far beyond the boundaries of King County.

What other opportunities does your program offer?

Specialty educational pathways: If you have an interest, we likely have faculty to help develop it further: Population health, global health, addiction medicine, climate change, EMS, medical education, ultrasound, critical care, quality improvement, neurocritical care, and research.

Rotate in a low-resourced setting: All our senior residents have the opportunity to rotate in a setting where they can learn about caring for acutely ill and injured patients from rural areas where there are few specialists.

What do you love about this program?

The faculty and residents at the University of Washington are some of the most incredibly smart, fun, dedicated, welcoming, ethical, and engaged people I know.

—Fiona Gallahue, MD, FACEP, residency program director
