Pullman Regional Hospital will welcome its first residents in the Washington State University Family Medicine Residency Program in summer 2022.
It is a three-year residency training program, according to a WSU news release officially announcing the programâs accreditation. PRH will start by hosting three residents per year.
During Fridayâs WSU Board of Regents meeting Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine Dean John Tomkowiak said the program will be just the second of its kind based in a critical access hospital.
Critical access hospitals have 25 or fewer acute care beds and serve rural communities with essential health care services, WSU stated in its announcement.
