The Hospital’s residency programs provide community-based education, with comprehensive training in inpatient and outpatient services and procedural skills, serving a very diverse San Joaquin County patient population. Medical physicians seeking a specialty through education at San Joaquin General see a wide range of medical conditions. The Hospital trains medical graduates with advanced medical technologies such as robotic surgery and state-of-the-art medical science practices. “Our 2021 general surgery graduates have achieved a high level of competence and can successfully compete for fellowships and excel in their subsequent surgical practices. I am very proud of these young 2021 surgical graduates and their ability to address their patient’s future needs” said Frederick D. Cason, MD, FACS, Program Director, General Surgery Residency. The Hospital’s residency programs are affiliated with the University of California, Davis Medical Center.
