Welcome to ChristianaCare Family Medicine!
At ChristianaCare Family Medicine, our goal is to train exceptional, well-rounded family physicians who are prepared to lead, serve, and innovate across primary care and the communities we serve. We believe that excellence in training begins with a commitment to both professional growth and personal well-being.
Our longitudinal, ambulatory-focused curriculum is designed to maximize your learning while offering flexibility to pursue individual interests. Whether your passion lies in community health, global health, sports medicine, Geriatrics, leadership, addiction medicine, or affirming care our program provides the structure and support to help you reach your goals.
We are proud of the culture of support and collaboration we’ve built. This is more than a residency-it’s a family. We choose each other, and that choice creates a wonderful foundation for collaboration, mentorship, and lifelong learning. We work hard, but we also honor the importance of life outside of medicine. Your wellness, your family, and your personal goals matter here.
ChristianaCare offers the best of both worlds in clinical training. Residents rotate through:
- Christiana Hospital- “the big house,” a large, tertiary care center with every specialty imaginable
- Wilmington Hospital- a community-based hospital where the Family Medicine Residency is the central academic team
You’ll choose your continuity clinic from three unique sites:
- Foulk Road- serving a suburban underserved population in North Wilmington
- Wilmington Primary Care- located in downtown Wilmington, caring for a high-risk, deeply underserves community
- Westside Family Healthcare- A Federally Qualified Health Center and long-standing community partner in downtown Wilmington
Our residents are trained in full-spectrum primary care, including prenatal care, addiction medicine, affirming care, reproductive healthcare and more. We adapt to meet the evolving needs of our community and offer opportunities for fellowships, certificate programs, and global health experiences.
What truly sets us apart is our people. Our residents and faculty are passionate, driven, and deeply committed to their patients and each other. The mentorship, camaraderie, and share purpose here are palpable-and powerful.
Whether you goal is to lead in primary care, advocate for health equity, or explore innovative models of care, ChristianaCare Family Medicine will inspire and train you to become the physician you aspire to be.
We can’t wait to meet you. Welcome to our family.
All best,
Anna Filip MD, FAAFP
