About White Memorial

WMMC as a Place to Practice Medicine

The vast majority of hospitals with graduate medical education programs offer only a family medicine option, making WMMC’s five residency programs notable. Our teaching programs help us recruit, train and retain top talent in a community that includes many medically underserved areas, as designated by the federal government.

More than one in five physicians on staff at WMMC trained here. Five of our current medical staff chairs and two of our residency program directors are past residents. And as a teaching hospital, WMMC is accredited to provide a comprehensive program for continuing medical education.

The medical staff at WMMC collaborates with the hospital’s administration to reach for the highest standards of care. The medical staff reviews and tracks patient outcomes, develops standard procedures and shares best practices with their peers. Physicians are represented on all of our quality councils.
