Internal Medicine Residency Program

The Internal Medicine Residency Program at San Joaquin General Hospital (an affiliate of the University of California, Davis Medical School) has been in existence since 1932 and is committed to education in Primary Care. Without any competing fellowship programs, the residents receive a very comprehensive hands-on education in the Ambulatory and Inpatient areas of general internal medicine. Office training in the non-traditional specialties of gynecology, ophthalmology, ENT, orthopedics, rehabilitation medicine, psychiatry and hospice are incorporated to enable the residents to practice the true art of medicine in any community, whether rural or technologically-advanced, with confidence and competence.

With an energetic full-time faculty and a diverse and enthusiastic group of residents, we plow through the culturally-rich population, thereby setting the stage for a luxurious and intellectual learning process with the development of an analytical mind and sharpening of the skills of deduction.

We place a heavy emphasis on inpatient training providing our residents with the necessary skills to function as skillful hospitalists, a career path that the majority of the residents seek after graduation. Training in the ICU enables our residents to perform central venous access, with or without ultrasound guidance (Sonosite). Hemodialysis monitoring; airway management (ET intubation and laryngeal mask airway) and the ability to place temporary hemodialysis access, temporary transvenous pacemakers and Minnesota tubes for variceal bleeds, are also all part of the expected training.

The University of California campuses at San Francisco and Davis participate with our training program in providing didactics, teaching and management rounds in addition to furnishing the residents with several elective rotations. An additional rotation at the local Kaiser Permanente in Stockton, adds to the diversity in our residents’ training.

The Program at San Joaquin General Hospital is small (total of 21 residents), warm and progressive. Browse through the particulars and contact us for details or just for curiosity.
