The Seattle Indian Health Board (SIHB) residency program provides a unique opportunity to train in a federally qualified community health center with a team of dedicated family physicians, nursing professionals, traditional healers, and community outreach specialists.
Residents are encouraged to participate in a wide range of community outreach programs and work with SIHB traditional healing practitioners. Residents also have a unique opportunity to get involved with research and policy through the SIHB data and research division, Urban Indian Health Institute.
Residents share their training and patients with other family medicine residents from the Swedish Family Medicine Residency Program, Cherry Hill, and are required to spend at least one elective month working at another Indian Health Service (IHS) center of their choosing (urban, rural, or tribal) in their first or second year of training.
