UCSF Fresno brings 79 new physicians to the Valley

UCSF Fresno Medical Education and Research Program recently filled all of its new medical resident positions for the 2012-2013 academic year.

Seventy-nine new residents will arrive in Fresno in late June to begin training in specialties,
including emergency medicine, family and community medicine, internal medicine,
obstetrics/gynecology, orthopaedic surgery, pediatrics, psychiatry and surgery.

A number of the new residents have ties to the Valley, including Timothy Galan most recently from Modesto, Rachel Goerzen from Selma and Vincent Whelan from Fresno. UCSF Fresno received 4,200 applications for 79 residency slots. Of that number, 800 applicants were interviewed. Applicants were then “matched” with UCSF Fresno through the National Resident Matching Program. When both the resident and
prospective program mutually select one another, a “match” has occurred.

Thirty to 50 percent of medical residents who graduate from UCSF Fresno remain in the area to care for local patients.
