The Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency trains physicians in the care of all people and their families, from birth to death. The program focuses on the increasingly complex biomedical skills need by family physicians with comprehensive attention to the many psychological, social, and systems issues that affect health, illness, and healing.
We recognize residency training as a tremendous opportunity for human growth and development for both residents and faculty. The program curriculum is rigorous and comprehensive. |

Faculty members and residents participate in Balint training, a group process devoted to exploring the impact and meaning of the doctor-patient relationship. The program is committed to the integration of biopsychosocial principles into daily practice. |
