Visiting Residents

Washington Permanente Medical Group serves as a teaching site for many academic university and community residencies throughout the state. We provide training electives from Family Medicine, Pediatrics to General Surgery. We have active Affiliation agreements with 90 other programs throughout the country. An active affiliation agreement is needed for Washington Permanente Medical Group to host visiting residents. To find out if your residency has an Affiliation Agreement with Kaiser Permanente Washington, contact the Office of Medical Education.

KPWA also operates one of the nation’s leading family medicine residency programs. Training at Kaiser Permanente differs from the traditional "block" model. Instead of focusing exclusively on one service or specialty each month, our trainees care for a panel of 400 patients for 3 years, provide inpatient OB, IM, and pediatric care, treat urgently sick patients, care for a geriatric panel, and participate in rotating sets of specialty experiences at a regular pace throughout their three years of training.
