“The learning curve is incredibly steep in residency and I feel pushed and challenged as well as supported by faculty and my fellow residents. It is the family environment I was seeking in residency.”

PGY2

“The program leadership is very responsive to our suggestions, ideas and concerns. We have strong resident leadership that is supported and encouraged. Plus, my fellow residents are life-long friends!”

PGY3

“We have incredible surgical and obstetrical training plus we are challenged academically to practice evidence-based medicine and think through clinical decisions. This program has been the perfect balance for me.”

PGY4

“It amazes me how many of my colleagues here are uncomfortable with laparoscopic surgery. I am thankful for the amazing laparoscopic teaching I received.”

Recent Graduate

“Fellowship is challenging and I feel incredibly well prepared. I knew we had strong surgical and academic training at Kaiser Oakland but to see how well prepared I was for fellowship made me even more proud of the training I received.”
