Why Fresno?
UCSF Fresno had an amazing blend of community/county/academic medicine, diversity in patient population, and commitment for caring for the underserved. I became a physician to care for my community, and UCSF Fresno was the perfect match, with the added bonuses of serving a large Spanish-speaking population and a reputation for amazing clinical training. And finally, Fresno has great restaurants, is a short drive to mountains, lakes, beaches, and has family nearby. I’m so excited to be training here!
