Why I chose Kaweah Health:
“I was attracted to the Anesthesiology residency at Kaweah Health by early exposure to complex cases, supportive faculty, and a culture that values education. During my MS4 away rotation, I appreciated a collegial environment among residents from all programs. I was excited to learn Kaweah Health has a thriving Cardiac program affiliated with Cleveland Clinic, Neurosciences program affiliated with USC, sim lab with TEE, and educational opportunities for residents performing fellow-level cases. I wanted a culture supportive of fellowship, but one that provides solid training for any practice setting after residency. Importantly, I felt supported in having a family while being a resident at Kaweah Health.
Visalia: Visalia is my hometown! I enjoy our walkable downtown along Main street with many privately owned restaurants just steps from the hospital, clean parks, and views of the Sierra Nevadas. We enjoy weekend trips to the mountains and Central CA coast, or just grilling at home with friends. I am able to afford a house for my family of five with a yard in a safe neighborhood, and have great choices for leisure travel. “

Why I chose Kaweah Health:
"During my interview, I felt a strong sense of camaraderie among the residents and faculty. As a new and tight-knit program, I knew that my education and wellbeing will be a high priority here. I also want to serve those who have limited access to healthcare, and KD is one of the only large healthcare institutions in the area. I’m also an outdoor enthusiast, so KD’s close proximity to national parks such as Yosemite and Sequoia National Park is a major plus!"
