Eisenhower Medical Center Program
About This Program
Nestled in the heart of the Coachella Valley, Eisenhower Health's Family Medicine Residency offers diverse, community-focused training across hospitals, clinics, and underserved settings-including Street Medicine, Planned Parenthood, and Volunteers in Medicine. We are one of the few programs in California with official Osteopathic Recognition. What sets Eisenhower apart from many community residency programs is the unique opportunity to practice family medicine across healthcare systems.
