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.

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.

The program was very supportive of medical couples, allowing us to schedule our vacation and elective time together.

I found the fact that the residency cares for the underserved, but does it in such a well-equipped and modern hospital, very appealing.

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.

As a single resident, it is important that the residents and faculty have a lot of camaraderie and support for each other.

This residency is strong in Peds and OB, which was very important to me.

I wanted a program which cared for a multi-cultural population, and made an impact on the community.

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.

I like outdoor activities, and having Yosemite and the mountains so close is great for my family.
