Family Medicine Residency at Affinia

Welcome! I am thrilled that you are considering the Affinia Healthcare Family Medicine Residency. As we prepare to welcome our inaugural class in 2026, I am excited to train the next generation of passionate, community-focused, and patient-centered family physicians.

At Affinia Healthcare, we believe Family Medicine is more than just a specialty—it is a commitment to serving diverse communities with compassion, fairness, and excellence. As a Federally Qualified Health Center, we ensure that all patients receive high-quality care, regardless of their background or ability to pay. Our program is uniquely designed to provide the skills and experience needed to thrive in various healthcare settings.

Joining our residency program means becoming a pioneer. As one of our first residents, you will play a key role in shaping the program while developing close partnerships with faculty and gaining valuable leadership skills. You will train alongside Affinia Healthcare’s multidisciplinary team of obstetricians, pediatricians, midwives, psychiatrists, and more. This collaborative approach will help you build full-spectrum Family Medicine skills that will serve you throughout your career.

Our curriculum balances evidence-based medicine with the art of compassionate care. The cornerstone of our training is the Primary Care and Community Medicine (PCCM) experience, spanning all three years of residency and focusing on longitudinal outpatient care. You will also lead the residency’s hospitalist service at Christian Northeast Hospital, train with world-class pediatricians at St. Louis Children’s, and deliver your own patients at DePaul’s Family Birthplace.

We recognize that residency is a demanding journey, and we are committed to supporting your well-being every step of the way. Our program includes dedicated resident support time, annual retreats, and social gatherings to foster a strong sense of community and resilience. Our goal is for you to graduate as both a highly skilled physician and a well-rounded individual, prepared for a fulfilling career in Family Medicine.

I am excited to support you in your journey to become an exceptional family physician and all of us at Affinia Healthcare look forward to meeting you and embarking on this journey together.
