What I love about our program is that we have intelligent, hardworking residents that make coming in to work everyday fun.
-Dr. Steve Kramer, Graduate, Class of 2011

Hands down, the people. Both attendings and residents are able to joke, laugh, have fun and provide excellent, evidence-based patient care!
-Dr. Catherine Lin, Graduate, Class of 2011

A terrific group of faculty and residents who engage me intellectually and personally each and every day.
-Dr. Grace Yu, Faculty

In my wildest dreams, I could not have assembled a better faculty group. We have the best group of attendings with very diverse interests (in medicine and outside of medicine), personalities, and styles. They are all incredibly smart, but at the same time incredibly supportive and friendly. I like and respect every single one of them.
-Dr. Elise Cheng-Torres, Faculty

There’s never a shortage of cookies in the cafeteria. Many opportunities to practice my Spanish. Continuity of care. Our amazing faculty always find opportunities to teach. I feel at home with my fellow residents.”
-Dr. Jackie Gadbow, Graduate, Class of 2012

Free food. Awesome teachers. Supportive co-workers who quickly become friends you want to hang out with.
-Dr. Linh Dang, Graduate, Class of 2012

– Dr. Michael Henehan, Faculty

The residents are bright, energetic and engaging. They teach me something new everyday.
-Dr. Robert Norman, Program Director

I fit in with the residents here and they are happy. Also the faculty are outstanding and cover the range of family medicine with their individual interests.
-Dr. Jamie Nuwer, Graduate, Class of 2010

“I picked this program because it was unopposed. The hospital, staff, consultants are friendly and respectful. The best thing about the program is my co-residents.” – Dr. Keegan Duchicela, Graduate, Class of 2010

“I have a lot of reasons, but the solid OB experience, balanced peds experience (both at a tertiary care center and community hospital), nightfloat system, and culture of support among residents are important to me. Also call here is a true family medicine experience—one minute you’re admitting a patient to the ICU, then next your answering floor calls on a pedi patient or delivering a baby. It’s really fun, and great preparation for anything.
-Dr. Jesse Rokicki-Parashar, Graduate, Class of 2011

The residents are supportive. The program structure is reasonable. I can earn the experiences I need and still have time for family.
-Dr. Loan Luc, Graduate, Class of 2010

The people!! The residents are fun, down-to-earth, amazing people that will not only have fun with you during the good times but also not hesitate to help you out when you are down. Our attendings are all unbelievably knowledgeable about every aspect of family medicine, plus they each have strengths in individual areas (geriatrics, OB, procedural medicine, sports, etc.) that complement each other and enhance our training. Even more amazingly, every single one of them is someone you could call in the middle of the night or pull aside for a question or concern. They really, really care about us.
-Dr. Annie Chern, Graduate, Class of 2010
