Director of Osteopathic Medical Education
Position Now Available


Central Washington Family Medicine is currently seeking an osteopathic family medicine physician to join our faculty as Director of Medical Education. The position requires board certification, ACOFM and/or ABFM with the minimal requirement of completion of an AOA approved internship. Preference is for full-time including obstetrics. We offer a competitive salary and excellent benefits. The position would be 70% clinical and 30% administrative. Clinical time would include the staffing of a musculoskeletal clinic that all residents – allopathic and osteopathic – would rotate through.

Our community and residency have a long and healthy history of osteopathic involvement. From our inception in 1993 we have recruited and trained osteopathic doctors. Currently, the Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences is in its early planning stages, and is moving forward to opening a new Osteopathic Medical School here in Yakima in the fall of 2007. Our modern clinic is specifically designed for our residency program, and includes an exceptional electronic medical record system. We have an outstanding clinic staff, and the luxury of 1:1 nurse-doctor ratio in the clinic.

CWFM enjoys strong support and respect from the Yakima medical community. Our faculty group is an outstanding team that strives to provide the best possible training for family practice residents.

Yakima is only a two hour drive from Seattle, and three hours from Portland, Oregon. Located east of the Cascade Mountains, we enjoy over 300 days of sunshine per year. Central Washington offers varied recreational opportunities without fighting the traffic! These include excellent hiking, mountaineering, road and mountain biking, whitewater kayaking and rafting, fishing, windsurfing, downhill and nordic skiing, as well as world class wineries and wine tasting. Please explore our web site for further information regarding our faculty members, residents, staff and the Yakima area.

An ideal candidate will be dedicated to quality resident education.
