Special Features & Unique Opportunities
This is a 1-2 rural training program. Year one of the program is spent in California's Central Valley community of Hanford. Years 2-3 are spent in the foothill town of Sonora, in the shadow of the beautiful Seirra Nevada Mountains. Sonora is small but is the medical hub of a three-county area. Our hospital has services that are unusual for a small town, including GI lab, cardiac cath lab and a cancer center. Residents get to experience it all. And when they're off, there is so much to explore.
