our residents are saying:
“Kaiser Oakland is an amazing place to train. There
is an outstanding exposure to the various facets of internal
medicine. Knowlegdeable and approachable attendings, collegial
co-residents and supportive program directors make for an
institution/environment that has a clear emphasis on excellence
in patient care and resident education. Additionally, there
is a diverse clinical exposure, along with encountering diverse
patient backgrounds and pathology. In short, deciding on a
residency is a major undertaking and I feel fortunate and
blessed to have graduated from a program that offers great
clinical training in a supportive atmosphere.”

learning. The program directors are dedicated to optimizing
the educational experience as well as supporting resident
well-being. My experiences as a resident at Kaiser Oakland

"Kaiser Oakland has provided me with a stellar foundation
upon which to build a career. What I love even more, is the
fact I will always feel at home at Kaiser Oakland. The support,
care and devotion to resident well-being is unmatched."
Melissa McNamara, MD
Class of 2005
Rheumatology Fellow, UCLA
“I think there are two major elements in the program
that helped broaden my skills and improve my knowledge base--an
awesome teaching staff and an academic curriculum that is
kept current to stay abreast of the constant evolution of
evidence-based medical practice. The opportunity to be autonomous
while in training and having supportive faculty/mentors and
staff, residents are prepared to face the challenges associated
not just with the diseases we are treating/preventing, but
also able to adapt to any changes in the workflow regardless
of which practice setting we choose.”
Joy Catolico, MD

“Kaiser Oakland provided an exceptional training experience
to be well prepared for the diverse demands of primary care
medicine. Knowledgeable attendings, very supportive program
directors, a great location, and the diversity of patients
and pathology were all elements to this solid medicine program
that taught me well.”
