Southwest Medical believes the Primary Care Physician is the foundation of every highly functioning and affordable healthcare delivery team. Therefore, Southwest Medical supports the training of future primary care physicians with the Pathway Program. Southwest Medical will provide financial and educational support while engaging in a mentoring relationship with residents during their final year of training. This early commitment reflects the value Southwest Medical places on each primary care physician always with a commitment to bringing and retaining top PCP’s for the Southern Nevada Community.

By being a Pathway Physician in their final year of training residents are able to complete their training with added financial and mentoring support. Having made a commitment to practice group and location, a career search will not distract from the third year of training. The commitment and dedication of the Pathway Physician to their education and residency program is the first priority. The Pathway Program is meant to enhance the final year of the residency experience while helping the training physician develop an added skill set to maximize success as the transition from residency to private practice.

Early commitment through the Pathway Program allows the physician to enhance their work life balance during their last year of residency.
