Mission Statement
The UCSF Fresno Intentional Recruitment Coalition (IRC) aims to adequately prepare the UCSF Fresno Department of Surgery and surgical training programs to serve the patient population that we care for and learn from on a daily basis. Our ultimate goals are to integrate our physicians with the community, increase cultural awareness, improve medical education and improve the health of the community.
The IRC is comprised of surgery faculty, other department faculty, community physicians, surgery residents, community leaders and Fresno State leadership.
In order to address all areas for recruitment the IRC is divided into four focused subcommittees:
- Application Review Committee
- Pre-Medical Surgical Internship (PSI)
- Visiting Medical Student Committee
- Health Outcomes Research Committee
Goals
-
Enhance matriculation and retention of high potential surgical residents and faculty.
-
Provide opportunities for education and teaching pertinent to the Central Valley population.
-
Provide ongoing didactic conferences dedicated to advancing excellence in care.
-
Improve and foster relationships between the UCSF Fresno Department of Surgery and its surgical training programs and the community in Fresno.
