The Inaugural Class! 2019 - 2020
Adventist Health Ukiah Valley is offering a “stand alone” (unopposed)
Family Medicine Residency Program for 6 residents per year totaling 18
residents over three years. Our program is focused on the full scope of
rural family medicine. Residents will be based at the University of California
Davis for Post-Graduate Year 1 (PGY1) and at Adventist Health Ukiah Valley
for PGY2 and PGY3. Adventist Health Ukiah Valley is a health care system
that hosts the largest hospital in our two-county region and has an extensive
network of rural health clinics. Adventist Health Ukiah Valley is affiliated
with two Critical Access Hospitals and Rural Health Clinics in Lake and
Mendocino Counties – Adventist Health Howard Memorial and Adventist
Health Clear Lake – where residents will also rotate in PGY2 and PGY3.
To give our resident physicians a strong urban and academic experience that complements their rural experience, the PGY1 year will be focused on inpatient training primarily at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. This first year with our academic affiliate, the UC Davis Department of Family and Community Medicine, will include thirteen 4 week block rotations as follows: 6 Adult Medicine blocks, 1 Pediatric block, 2 OB blocks, 2 Emergency Medicine blocks (adult and pediatric), 1 Critical Care block and 1 vacation block. All 3 years emphasize Behavioral and Population Health and the Underserved.
We are proud to be the 8th member of the University of California Davis School of Medicine Network of Family Medicine Residency Programs.
