The mission of Via Christi Family Medicine Residency is to teach comprehensive family medicine to residents of character who are called to serve the community with an emphasis on patient-centered care.

Family Medicine is one of medicine’s most challenging and progressive specialties. Via Christi Family Medicine strives to meet the challenges of the changing healthcare environment through a community-based residency program served only by our family medicine residents.

Our program serves metropolitan Wichita (a population of about 500,000) and rural Kansas which provides a patient training base sufficient to help you develop the competence, confidence and comfort to practice broad-based Family Medicine anywhere in the world (urban, suburban, rural or international).

From day one, our residents are treated as capable physicians, and are given the freedom and responsibility to care for patients at their comfort level from admission to discharge.

The Via Christi International Family Medicine Fellowship was developed to equip family physicians with a unique knowledge base and clinical skills necessary to effectively serve the poorest and most underserved people of this world. Its vision is to provide real training to mobilize a force of compassionate, competent family physicians who will go and make a real difference in transforming the lives and health of nations.
