Department Recruitment Goals

We aim to recruit physicians who resonate with the needs of our diverse population and are committed to providing care to these patients. We seek individuals passionate about teaching and those who wish to practice in the Central Valley. Fresno is home to over 70 distinct ethnic groups, including a significant Hmong community, with more than 50% of the population identifying as Hispanic/Latino. Our department acts as a safety net provider for obstetrical and gynecologic care in Fresno and surrounding areas, particularly for patients lacking providers or insurance. Our resident clinic operates within a federally qualified health center, where 80% of patients depend on state-funded insurance and 10% are uninsured. Our goal is to attract physicians dedicated to addressing health disparities in the San Joaquin Valley.
