Chief Residents 2025-2026
Kimberly Edelsberg, DO (Chief Faculty)
Welcome to Internal Medicine at Kaiser Santa Clara!
Growing up in New York, I never imagined that I would one day call the Bay Area home—but over the past seven years of medical school and residency, this community has become exactly that. At Kaiser Santa Clara, I’ve found mentors who have guided my career, colleagues who have become friends, and opportunities that have allowed me to grow in ways I never expected. Stepping into the role of Chief Resident feels like a chance to give back to the program that has shaped me.
What excites me most about our program is the diversity of experiences available. Residents here have the flexibility to explore advanced subspecialty care at a tertiary referral center, pursue board certification in lifestyle medicine, engage in meaningful community health work, or dive into research with the support of a robust database and dedicated mentorship. Our 2+2 schedule provides a rare balance—fostering continuity with patients and wellness for ourselves while still pushing us to grow clinically. For me, this program has also nurtured my passion for palliative care, giving me the chance to grow as a clinician and as an advocate for patients and families during their most vulnerable moments.
Our residents are hardworking, dedicated clinicians and supportive teammates who genuinely look out for one another. Our program directors, faculty, and GME staff are deeply invested in our growth. The culture here is one of kindness, collaboration, and curiosity—qualities that make the challenges of residency both manageable and meaningful.
I hope you’ll discover, as I have, that Kaiser Santa Clara is not only a wonderful place to train, but also a place to belong. We look forward to being part of your journey!

Hello and welcome to the Kaiser Santa Clara Internal Medicine Residency!
As someone who grew up in the Bay Area, returning here for residency felt like coming home. Over the past few years, Kaiser Santa Clara has been more than just a place of training – it has become a second home where I’ve grown as a clinician, mentor, and colleague. The supportive culture here inspired me to step into the role of Chief Resident so I could give back to the program that has given me so much.
Our program stands out for many reasons. The 2+2 schedule creates the balance every resident needs, with time to learn inpatient medicine while also developing continuity and outpatient skills. We’re also proud of the CHOICE track, which offers additional primary care and community medicine experiences, and of our leadership in lifestyle medicine, with residents able to become board-certified during training. Our Academic Half Day provides protected time for high-yield teaching, procedure training, and interactive sessions like Jeopardy and simulation. We also train at a major referral center, caring for both common conditions and complex cases that challenge and grow us daily. For those with academic or research interests, we offer dedicated mentorship and robust resources.
Most importantly, what makes our program special is the people. The camaraderie among residents, the investment of our program directors, the teaching from faculty, and the support of our GME staff all create a community that feels like family. Residency is challenging, but at Santa Clara you are surrounded by colleagues and friends who help you thrive, both in and out of the hospital.
I am so proud to call myself a Kaiser Santa Clara graduate, and I’m excited to welcome you to our program. We can’t wait to show you why this is such a special place to train, grow, and belong!
