All our family physicians are board certified. Today, that means three years of training after graduation from medical school, followed by a nationally standardized examination. In order to maintain specialty certification, it is necessary to take and pass a recertification exam every six years, and pass a practice audit.
Geraldine Kildow and Sharon Kerlin are Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners that help to provide patient care in our office. An Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) is a registered nurse with further education who is also professionally certified and licensed in the state of Washington to practice as a member of our health care team. We believe that both our doctors and our nurse practitioners have unique strengths that they bring to our health care team, and we pledge to work closely together to try and make our care more available and complete.
