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 communities. We seek individuals passionate about teaching and those eager to practice in the Central Valley. Fresno is home to over 70 distinct ethnic groups, including a significant immigrant population, with more than 50% of residents identifying as Hispanic/Latino. Our department serves as a safety net provider for obstetric and gynecologic care in the Fresno area and surrounding counties, particularly for patients lacking insurance or access to providers. Our resident clinic operates within a federally qualified health center, where 80% of patients rely on state-funded insurance and 10% are uninsured. Our goal is to attract physicians dedicated to addressing health disparities in the San Joaquin Valley.
