Shenandoah Valley Family Practice Residency is dual AOA-ACGME-accredited 5-5-5 program. Click here to find it on Mapquest.

They offer the opportunity to draw from the best of two training environments: Winchester Medical Center (WMC) in Winchester Medical Center in Winchester, VA, and Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal, VA.

WMC is a state-of-the-art regional hospital. It is a 408 bed referral hospital that draws from a very diverse population from four states—Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Residents spend most of their OGME-1 year working side by side with highly respected board certified specialists at WMC, returning for specialty rotations in the OGME-2 and OGME-3 years.

Residents spend their OGME-2 and OGME-3 years at the 18,000 sq. ft. Front Royal Family Practice Center with 76 beds and Warren Memorial Hospital, with 120 nursing home and skilled care beds in the attached long-term care facility. This small town hospital plays a vital role in meeting the needs of Front Royal (pop. 12,500), Warren County (pop. 37,000) and the surrounding rural areas.

We think our success in training residents who feel comfortable practicing in a rural setting is verified by our residents chosen locations to practice: as of June 09, 41 total graduates, 18 in small town/rural
practice, 9 in solo practice, 23 practicing in Virginia, and 10 practicing within the local health system.
