Program highlights
- Newer program: the site invites the inaugural cohort to help shape it; ask how resident feedback has changed the curriculum and what is being built next.
- Curriculum includes a PGY1 Rural Medicine month and a PGY2 Community Medicine month; link any rural, underserved or Central Valley interest to these.
- Year-by-year blocks show PGY3 electives (3 months) plus Peri-Op/Ambulatory, Geriatrics and Advanced Hospitalist/TCM blocks; ask how electives are chosen and whether away or research options exist.
- Night float is a dedicated block each year (with a Night Float/Procedure block in PGY3); ask about call structure and coverage.
- Ambulatory training is partly at Sutter Gould Medical Foundation practices (PCP month in PGY1); ask about continuity clinic panel build-up.
- Sutter Health holds institutional ACGME accreditation and the hospital cites top-percentile clinical quality (cardiac, vascular, critical care, pulmonary); ask how that translates to resident exposure.
