Residency Program Alumni

Our “Fearless Pioneers” formed part of our inaugural Class of 2020. This diverse group of physicians came from all parts of the nation, many from the Central Valley and embodied our program’s core values and mission. They paved the way for future residents and were an integral part in making the program what it is today. Amongst our inaugural class, 50% stayed to practice at Valley Children’s Hospital or within the Central Valley.
 

Where are our graduates now?
