Residents at conference

UCSF Fresno Family Medicine offers regularly scheduled didactic sessions. This time is set aside for in-depth discussions and presentations on primary care topics, practice management, behavioral science, and procedural skills. Family medicine faculty are regular contributors to these lectures. We also often invite providers from other specialties to give lectures, many of which involve topics requested by the residents.
