Why Fresno?
After rotating here as a med student, I knew this was where I wanted to be for residency. The residents, faculty, and staff are so friendly, down-to-earth, and fun to work with. Everyone is dedicated to medical education and to providing excellent patient care for a diverse and underserved population. This program offers incredibly strong clinical training while also allowing us the privilege of providing care to marginalized groups who need it most. It was always a goal of mine to return to my hometown and serve my community, so UCSF Fresno was the perfect fit for me. It's also nice being close to family and getting to enjoy the area's delicious produce and beautiful scenery!
