Thank you for your interest in the Providence St. Peter Hospital Family Practice Residency Program. We have some supplemental program-specific questions we ask that you answer in addition to those in your ERAS application. Feel free to e-mail lisa-ann.roura@providence.org or mail your responses. Please note – your file will not be considered complete until we have received a response to these questions. If these questions have been addressed in your personal statement, a response indicating this would be appreciated. Please answer the following questions:

What family practice experience will you have participated in before completing medical school? Indicate when and where these activities took place, the duration of each activity, and whether they were full or part time. We strongly recommend that all applicants have spent a minimum of 4 weeks full-time, or equivalent, with a practicing family physician, prior to being interviewed, and that this family physician write a letter to us in support of your application.
What are your career plans at present?
What interests do you have outside of medicine?
What are the interests, activities, and plans of other persons (if any) who would be residing with you during residency?
Why are you applying to THIS program?
In what specific ways do you think YOU can contribute to this program?
Are you applying to any other specialties?
How did you hear about our program?
What are your interview date preferences?

The University of Washington, with whom we are affiliated, requires that the following questions be asked of all residency candidates in addition to those questions answered in your ERAS application. A "yes" answer to any of these questions requires and explanation. A positive response to a question does not necessarily preclude acceptance.

Have you ever been involved in a malpractice lawsuit or claim (whether or not you were individually named as a defendant)?
Have you ever been called before any entity for questioning concerning unprofessional conduct, incompetence, negligence, unsafe practices, or mental or physical impairment?
Have you ever been addicted to, or treated for addiction to, a controlled substance, drug or chemical?
Have you ever used a prescription drug, including controlled substances, for other than therapeutic purposes?
Are you currently suffering from any disability or illness (mental or physical) which could affect your ability to fully practice medicine?

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to e-mail, phone or write. Again, thanks for your interest in our program.
