Family & Community Medicine Residency Program Pathway
A partnership between UCSF and UHC has provided an immense number of services in O.B., Pediatrics, and Family Medicine.
Our Resident Physicians are experiencing a full scope practice and have adjusted very well to their home clinic in Parlier. The Family & Community Medicine Residency Program Pathway has given our Resident Physicians a first-hand opportunity to build personal relationships with our patients while developing tremendous experience in the field.
