Puyallup Tribal Health Authority
Our mission as a Family Medicine Residency with Osteopathic Recognition is to provide full-spectrum, high quality education with exceptional faculty who promote wellness and culturally appropriate care in a community-based, supportive environment. We strive to be integrative and teach strategies for working with Native American Traditional Medicine approaches to prepare our residents to care for underserved Native communities.
Residents train primarily at two core sites (MultiCare Tacoma General Hosp. and the Takopid Clinic), as well as rural training at Indian Health Services Sites across WWAMI regions. Obstetric training in the first year occurs at both Tacoma General and Auburn Medical Center. Opportunities for rural electives are availble.
