RESIDENTS
Residents in our program
enjoy a strong resident and faculty camaraderie. Residents have considerable
opportunity for quality hands-on experience, and they have
the opportunity to work closely with a large indigent patient population.
The inpatient experiences include managing acute medicine patients at both
Community Regional
Medical Center and the VA, intensive care medicine, and acute cardiology/telemetry.
In addition our residents spend time on subspecialty services that often
combine inpatient consultations and ambulatory practice. Each resident
has two primary
care clinics per week, and the faculty supervision ratio is one faculty to
two or three residents each day. The resident has a panel of patients and
they manage the medical disorders in this panel under faculty supervision.
In addition to experiential training, we have an extensive conference-teaching
schedule that includes morning report,
grand
rounds, core curriculum, and board review courses. In addition to a training stipend, we also provide each of our
residents with a personal digital assistant and with access to UpToDate.
All of our PG3 residents have a one-month research block during the year and
present their project at the annual Departmental Research Day.
Two-thirds of our graduates over the last several years entered primary care and one-third go on to additional training. About 50 percent of our trainees remain and practice in the great Central San Joaquin Valley. Many of our graduates have become leaders in the medical community, establishing standards of excellence for which this community is now known. Other graduates have gone on to success in academic medicine.
