About the Area

Kern County provides affordable housing options for physicians and their families, along with access to some of California's premier natural attractions. It is the closest SCPMG area to renowned outdoor destinations such as Yosemite, King's Canyon, Sequoia, and Death Valley National Parks. Bakersfield is a hidden treasure, featuring mature tree groves, spacious streets, and beautiful homes, all without the typical Southern California traffic congestion.

Working Environment

Kern County stands out within SCPMG due to its smaller-town atmosphere, fostering a genuine sense of community and belonging. It is the only medical center within SCPMG that can convene as a unified group simultaneously. This smaller setting encourages open communication at all levels, giving physicians a voice and facilitating ongoing improvements, both minor and significant. Physicians benefit from the stability and support of the Permanente system while enjoying the camaraderie of a smaller medical group. New team members are swiftly integrated into the system, promoting rapid learning and support. This welcoming culture extends beyond the medical center, as physicians' families actively engage in social events and local cultural activities.

Equal Employment Opportunity

All external candidates must successfully complete a background check and drug screening. Qualified applicants with arrest and/or conviction records will be considered for employment in accordance with federal, state, and local laws, including the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance. We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, protected veteran status, or disability.
