Our Graduates

Life after Residency

Recognizing that career choices often evolve during training, career counseling is an important part of the twice-yearly (at minimum) resident meetings with the residency program directors and advisors.

In addition to the program directors, members of our teaching faculty and alumni actively help residents make career decisions and find positions in a variety of professional settings, including subspecialty fellowships, primary care practices, academic medicine, and community-based settings in the Bay Area and across the U.S.
