"Building respectful, collaborative, diverse, resource rich training experiences in Community Oriented Primary Care in the urban and rural settings of Minnesota." 

The United Family Medicine Residency Program is an American Council of Graduate Medical Education accredited program of medical education and training in family medicine. The program is sponsored by Allina and is approved for 18 residency positions (6- 6 - 6.) The residency achieves this goal with and for its residents by utilizing the extensive resources of the Allina system, which include United Hospital, Children’s Health Care - St. Paul, the other urban Allina hospitals, and the resource rich and viable rural settings. 

The ambulatory setting is United Family Practice Health Center, which has a long-standing reputation of service to the community. It has a rich history of partnership with individuals, families, and community. In addition to the clinic site, the ambulatory component is comprised of working in a well-established high-risk teen OB clinic in a multi-cultural clinic, with a community outreach worker, with local community organizations, in the rural ambulatory care settings, and making home visits.

The United Family Medicine Residency Program is committed to high quality, full-spectrum primary care working in partnership with its surrounding community to improve the community's health. The program resides in the United Family Practice Health Center, a clinic just a half mile from United Hospital and Children's Health Care - St. Paul, which serve as its core hospitals. United Hospital is the preeminent tertiary hospital in St. Paul. 

United Family Practice Health Center has served a long-standing patient population of 20,000 for over 20 years with 45,000 patient visits per year. United Family Practice Health Center provides a sliding fee scale and focuses on meeting the needs of the medically underserved, balanced with serving persons who span the economic spectrum. The experience here is rich. 

The residency program also incorporates a core two-month rural clinic/hospital rotation in the second year in well-established and viable rural health care sites within Allina's structure. The Children's Health Care - St. Paul affiliation facilitates exceptional training in pediatrics and United Hospital's perinatology facilitates training in high-risk obstetrics, as well as family-centered maternity care.
