Why This Program: Through my medical school rotations, I found myself very much interested in obstetrics and pediatrics. Not being able to choose between the two, I felt pursuing a career in family medicine would best satisfy my goals and interests.

With this in mind, I wanted to make sure I trained at a program that would let me practice full spectrum family medicine and work in an underserved population. Without a doubt, the patient population, the unique pathology, and the wonderful faculty and support staff have fortified my decision to be a part of the UCSF Fresno community.
