Message from the Chief Residents
Hello, and thank you for your interest in the UCSF Fresno Pediatrics residency program! We are very fortunate to serve a diverse Central Valley population in a supportive training environment. Our residents have the benefit of training at one of the largest community hospital systems in the Central Valley (Community Regional Medical Center) and the only free-standing children’s hospital in the Central Valley (Valley Children’s Hospital). Our large catchment area and breadth of clinical experiences provides a strong foundation for our family of residents to excel in their pursuits, whether that is in general pediatrics or fellowship.
