For Medical Professionals

Physicians who are part of the Sutter Medical Network can take advantage of many professional resources, services and continuing education opportunities.

The Sutter Medical Network was created in 2007 to bring physicians across the Northern California healthcare delivery system together to strive to advance the quality, consistency and affordability of care for Sutter patients. With nearly 5,000 primary care doctors and specialists in medical foundations and aligned Independent Practice Associations (IPAs), the Sutter Medical Network has a presence in dozens of cities and towns across Northern California–from Sonoma County to the Central Valley, and from Santa Cruz to the Mother Lode foothills.

We provide a wide range of support services and resources for physicians in our network, from many fellowship and residency opportunities to continuing medical education (CME) programs.
