St Joseph's Medical Center Program
About This Program
We are a community hospital-based program with an emergency department that sees over 100k patients per year and has very high acuity. We are based in an urban center of the city of Stockton and surrounded by the central valley's agricultural region giving a great mix of patient population. As a community hospital, the emergency physicians manage patients to a greater extent leading to a greater number of procedures for our residents and giving our graduates confidence to practice anywhere.
