Message from the Program Director

“In this community, it is our hospitals and our residents that care for the most vulnerable - something I do not think should be overlooked or understated. Many start down the path of medicine with altruistic, optimistic, perhaps lofty goals of caring for the underserved. Somewhere along the line they become jaded, or perhaps economically enticed, and the calling that brought them to medicine becomes lost. The reason medical students choose this program, the reason our faculty work here, the reason I am here is because Dignity Health has not lost sight of this path. We work here because we are proud to take care of those others might neglect. We have stayed true to our mission. Our residency is a product of our commitment to train our future primary care workforce, and to treat those most in need.”
