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
I found the fact that the residency cares for the underserved, but does it in such a well-equipped and modern hospital, very appealing. Dr. Jason Markland
I liked the fact that the faculty is large and dedicated to practice in the same health system as the Residency. When I joined the faculty after residency, I became a part of one of the largest medical groups in Modesto. Dr. Erin Kiesel
As a single resident, it is important that the residents and faculty have a lot of camaraderie and support for each other. Dr. Kou Yang
This residency is strong in Peds and OB, which was very important to me. Dr. Lance Gault
I wanted a program which cared for a multi-cultural population, and made an impact on the community. Dr. Maria J. LaPlante
Our Residency education is based on Adult Learning Principles, where the resident is placed in a position of responsibility to patients and works with faculty to develop a customized learning plan. Dr. Peter Broderick
Our program strives to create a supportive and collaborative environment by encouraging group activities and retreats. Dr. Kate Kearns
I like outdoor activities, and having Yosemite and the mountains so close is great for my family. Dr. Robert Bixler |
