NP and PA Residency Program

The Petaluma Health Center’s (PHC) Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Physician Assistant Residency Program provides Residents an unparalleled experience. The program, launched in 2018, is mentored by a team of highly committed, experienced faculty, working with a diverse population of underserved patients. Residents who are accepted to the program will participate in PHC’s innovative team approach in a multicultural, multilingual environment and will be part of a rewarding, academically rigorous working environment.

Our mission is to support new NP/PA graduates in advancing their expertise and confidence in caring for a complex, diverse, underserved population in alignment with the mission of Petaluma Health Center (PHC) to ensure access, and to provide high quality prevention-focused health care for the communities we serve.

The Residency is a 12 month, full-time program which includes didactics, precepting, mentoring, specialty experiences and inter-professional learning, focusing on humanity, compassion and a strong personal bond with the patient and the community.
