Resident Highlights
I wanted to be close to the Bay Area, which is where my husband works, and join a strong Family Medicine program that focused on a multi-cultural population; this program was the perfect combination. Dr. Bushra Jawaid
During my visits to the program, I got the sense that they exert a big effort to care for their residents' well being. It is very reassuring to know I will always be supported even when the workload gets overwhelming. Dr. Abilene Enriquez
The program was very supportive of medical couples, allowing us to schedule our vacation and elective time together. Dr. Christie and Daren Garb
