OVERVIEW
Founded in 1974 at Valley Medical Center in Fresno County, the Emergency Medicine residency is one of the first EM programs in the country. We offer a four-year program (PGY 1-4) with 10 residents per year, featuring a strong emphasis on clinical teaching and hands-on training.
The New ED!
On April 17th, 2007, after years of planning, the UCSF Fresno Medical Education Program successfully moved to a new campus at Community Regional Medical Center. Our giant, new, state-of-the-art ED serves as the only Level 1 trauma center and Burn center for Central California, and handles an annual ED volume of 110,000.
