Sutter Health has announced that applications are now open for seven new graduate medical education programs set to begin in July 2026. The programs, which have received accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, will be offered at various Sutter facilities across Northern California.
The newly accredited tracks include two obstetrics and gynecology residencies at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center and Sutter Roseville Medical Center, a neurology residency at Sutter Roseville, fellowships in pulmonary disease and critical care medicine, hematology and medical oncology, gastroenterology at Sutter Roseville, and a family medicine rural residency split between Sutter Medical Center Sacramento and Sutter Coast Hospital.
These additions bring the total number of residency and fellowship tracks at Sutter to 37. The expansion is part of Sutter’s long-term plan to train more than 18,000 physicians over the next 20 years, aiming to become the largest community-based training institution in Northern California.
Dr. Lindsay Mazotti, chief medical officer of medical education and science at Sutter Health, said: “Our vision for graduate medical education at Sutter is to develop compassionate, collaborative, highly skilled and innovative physician leaders who deliver the highest-quality care and enhance the health of the patients and communities we serve. Opening these additional programs provides more pathways for physicians to gain advanced training while helping meet the growing demand for specialists across California.”
The new programs are designed to increase access to specialty care in urban, suburban, and rural areas by providing multidisciplinary training environments. Residents and fellows will work with experienced mentors on clinical excellence initiatives as well as quality improvement research.
Dr. Dineen Greer, vice president and designated institutional official for graduate medical education at Sutter Health stated: “Our goal is to provide physicians world-class, hands-on training in specialty fields while also preparing them to meet the unique needs of the communities we serve. These programs ensure our residents and fellows gain the skills, experience and mentorship necessary to become leaders in medicine and deliver the highest quality care to patients across Northern California.”
Applications can be submitted through standard channels such as the Electronic Residency Application Service or ResidencyCAS for OB/GYN and emergency medicine specialties. Placement will be managed via the National Residency Matching Program or relevant fellowship match systems.
