Department Recruitment Goals:
We aim to recruit physicians who align with the needs of our multicultural population and demonstrate a desire/commitment to practice and care for patients in underserved areas in the Central Valley. Applicants should have a desire to teach a variety of multidisciplinary learners including medical and midwifery students and OBGYN residents, as well as, residents from other specialties.

Fresno is a culturally diverse community with over 70 distinct ethnic groups. In Fresno County there is a large number of immigrants including a sizable Hmong community and over 50% of our population identifies as Latino. Our department serves as the safety net provider of Obstetric and Gynecologic care in the Fresno area and surrounding counties for patients without providers or insurance coverage. Our resident clinic is based in a federally qualified health center where 80% of our patients rely on state funded insurance and 10% are uninsured. Our goal is to recruit physicians who want to provide care and address health inequities in the culturally rich San Joaquin Valley.

The department is based in Fresno, California, where residents enjoy a high standard of living combined with a low cost of living. The result is a quality of life uniquely Californian, yet surprisingly affordable. The school system in Fresno and Clovis is excellent (e.g., US News ranked University HS in Fresno 5th out of 1,000+ California high schools). Limitless recreational opportunities and spectacular scenery is all accessible in a community with abundant affordable housing. While there is much to see and do in Fresno, the city is ideally located for fast, convenient getaways to the majestic Sierra (just 90 minutes away) as well as the scenic Central Coast, just two and one-half hours away. Fresno is the only major city in the country with close proximity to three national parks, including renowned Yosemite National Park.
