Trios Health Program

Program Identity & Fit

Trios Health is a small, community hospital-based Internal Medicine residency in Kennewick, WA, built around a single-site model (Trios Southridge Hospital, an affiliated outpatient clinic, and nearby care centers) that emphasizes close, individualized faculty-resident interaction rather than large tertiary/quaternary volume. The 36-month curriculum blends inpatient and outpatient continuity training with structured Friday didactics covering practice management, billing, health policy, and community health, signaling a strong emphasis on preparing residents for practical, real-world physician life. A 100% board pass rate and roughly 30% fellowship placement rate indicate the program supports both hospitalist/primary care and subspecialty-bound trainees, though its structure and resident composition (largely DO and IMG graduates from community-oriented schools) point to a program grounded in solid, broad-based clinical training rather than research-driven subspecialization. The stated mission of "making communities healthier" and values around individuality and teamwork suggest the program prioritizes resident engagement with the local Tri-Cities community and collaborative, humanistic care delivery over academic prestige.
