Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives

Our vision is to become the medical institution of choice in Central California by delivering quality and compassionate healthcare to everyone in our community regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, immigration status, and/or disability. Our program offers an exceptional training environment that prepares residents to practice quality Internal Medicine and to become recognized leaders in patient care, patient advocacy, and patient-centered quality improvement initiatives.

Our mission is to train residents in every aspect of Internal Medicine. In doing so, we will prepare these physicians to safely and competently provide the highest standard of patient care. We will also prepare our residents with the training necessary to enter a subspecialty fellowship for those who wish to do so.
