Family & Community Medicine Residency

Continue your medical education with a fulfilling and meaningful experience in Yuma! Our unique Family & Community Medicine residency program focuses on patient- and family-centered care and is affiliated with the College of Medicine at the University of Arizona, Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona and Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has granted our program the status of “Continued Accreditation,” the highest level of accreditation a residency program can achieve.

Yuma Regional Medical Center is a 406-bed community hospital located in Yuma County, which serves over 200,000 people and covers an expansive area. Our diverse population includes those who are medically underserved as well as a substantial migration of winter visitors, providing a wide range of healthcare challenges and disease states from which our residents gain in-depth, hands-on experience. Residents also gain valuable experience working with our integrated EPIC electronic health record system. And our geographic location near Mexico’s border offers additional unparalleled experiences. Our residents also have opportunities to fully integrate themselves into our community by participating in several community outreach events, local health fairs, healthcare career camps and through activities such as providing sports physicals to local student athletes.
