The Rural Training Track combines training in our “flagship” medical center in Sacramento, CA and our state of the art hospital in rural Jackson, CA. Our mission is to build healthier communities by training superior community-oriented physicians, providing expert person-centered care, and being a catalyst for improving health services in our region.

## Message from the Track Director

**Jennifer Shoemaker, M.D., M.P.H.**

The Amador County medical community has a long tradition of being a medical student training site through UC Davis School of Medicine Rural-PRIME. That is how I ended up here! Sutter Health has recognized that these enthusiastic local clinicians are a sound foundation for rural residency training.

In early 2019, Sutter Amador Hospital partnered with the Sutter Health Family Medicine Residency Program (FMRP) in Sacramento to apply for a federal Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) grant to start a Family Medicine Rural Residency Track in Amador County. We received the grant award in July of 2019. We applied to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and received our accreditation in May of 2020!

The Sutter Family Medicine Rural Amador Residency Track is a 1-2 program, and our inaugural class of residents began in mid-June 2021. The first year will be spent in Sacramento. The second and third years will focus on rural Amador County with the linchpin for training being the Family Medicine Continuity Clinic in Jackson, CA. Rotations will include Inpatient and Emergency Medicine at Sutter Amador Hospital and numerous outpatient experiences with a “longitudinal design” (see Curriculum section for more details).

Sutter Amador Hospital is a not-for-profit rural hospital located in Jackson, California, with 52-licensed beds. It is the only hospital in Amador County serving a population of more than 45,000. As the only residency program in Amador County, residents will have a plethora of opportunities to serve a rural population who face unique and complex health disparities.  

We have a dedicated group of Sutter and local community clinicians and organizations that we have partnered with to give residents excellent training along with a unique rural perspective on healthcare issues. Our residents will be an integral part of serving our communities in the lovely Sierra foothills. Our goal is to graduate excellent community-oriented Family Medicine physicians who will become the innovative healthcare leaders of the future.

We welcome you to our community and look forward to challenging, yet fun interactions as we learn and explore the wonders of rural medicine together.

## Needed: More Rural Docs; New Residents Part of Solution

The first two physicians in the federally-supported Family Medicine Rural Residency Program in Amador County are beginning their two-year residencies this week at the Sutter Family Medicine Continuity Clinic in Jackson, along with rotations at Sutter Amador Hospital.

### Program Highlights

**Sutter Amador Rural Training Track Curriculum** 

After completing their intern year in Sacramento, residents will have a fully integrated longitudinal curriculum in Amador County during their second and third years of training.

Residents will have a full panel of continuity patients in the Family Medicine Residency Clinic in Jackson. Inpatient rotations will be in Sutter Amador Hospital.

The innovative longitudinal curriculum will allow residents to have excellent continuity in Family Medicine Residency Clinic and multiple other clinical settings. These will include geriatrics, pediatrics, musculoskeletal, general surgery, community medicine, public health, and addiction medicine. It will allow residents to experience what life is like as a practicing community physician.

This curriculum caters to engaged independent learners and will allow flexibility with electives and special interest projects.

**Amador Community** 

Amador County is a great place to raise a family and for those who desire to live and work in a beautiful Sierra foothill community. Opportunities to hike, trail run, bike, camp, fish and kayak are in abundance. Just a quick drive up scenic Highway 88, you can find some of the best skiing and snowboarding terrain around.

The local economic base includes agriculture, county government, a unified school district, tourism, a community college extension and a growing number of small businesses. Agricultural workers, veteran organizations, unsheltered populations and behavioral health needs within this close-knit community provide many options to engage in other fulfilling community activities.

### Living in Amador County

Nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills, Amador County offers a charming blend of historic Gold Rush towns, scenic vineyards, and outdoor recreation, all within a relaxed rural setting. Community members enjoy a slower pace of life, with access to hiking, wine tasting, and community events that celebrate the area's rich heritage.
