Swedish Family Medicine Residency 

Cherry Hill    

History and Mission

Since 1974, the mission of the Swedish Family Medicine Residency Program Cherry Hill has been to improve the well being and health of the medically and socially underserved by training doctors to provide comprehensive, high quality, and continuous health care to diverse populations.  We have three training sites in our residency program.  The original clinic site at Cherry Hill, takes 6 residents per year and serves a multi-ethnic typically inner city population using interpreters in 17 different languages, has implemented an open access model of scheduling, uses a highly advanced electronic medical record  including a secure patient portal and has provided group visits as well as a high risk obstetrics clinic for several years.  Add the sections after this from SIHB & SeaMar

The Residency is a member of the University of Washington's Affiliated Network of Family Practice Residency Programs. We provide a setting uniquely adapted for training family physicians to practice in an inner city and cross-cultural community, with a curriculum framework that guarantees the flexibility and breadth that lies at the foundation of Family Medicine. We place particular emphasis on inpatient care, obstetrics, behavioral science, and cultural sensitivity in a multidisciplinary setting.

The residency was founded in 1974 by the Sisters of Providence, but the program merged with Swedish Medical Center in 2000. Swedish now operates the largest Family Medicine training center in the country, offering 60 residents slots across six training sites of which three are affiliated with the Cherry Hill program.

Swedish Medical Center is an equal opportunity employer, and we strongly encourage minority candidates to apply to our program.
