Internal Medicine Residency Program

    The Internal Medicine Residency Program has been in existence since 1932 committed to an education in Primary Care. Without any competing fellowship programs the residents receive a very comprehensive hands-on education in the Ambulatory and Inpatient areas of general internal medicine; (where else would you have the ability to perform 30 to 60 flexible sigmoidoscopies!). Office training in the non traditional specialties of gynecology, pediatrics, ophthalmology, ENT, orthopedics, rehabilitation medicine, psychiatry, nursing home visits and hospice are incorporated to enable the residents to practice the true art of medicine in any community, however rural or technologically advanced, with confidence and competence.

     With an energetic full time faculty and a diverse enthusiastic group of residents we plough through the culturally rich population entering the enchanting world of tropical medicine-leprosy and schistosomiasis, amebic liver abscesses and malaria, thereby setting the stage for a luxurious and intellectual learning process with the development of an analytical mind and a sharpening of the skills of deduction.

The University of California campuses at San Francisco and Davis participate with the training program in providing didactics, teaching and management rounds in addition to furnishing the residents with several elective rotations.

     The program at San Joaquin General Hospital is small (total of 15 residents), warm and progressive. Browse through the particulars and contact us for details or just for curiosity.
