Life After Residency

As residents reach their senior year, we continue to mentor them through the next phase of their career. The majority of our residents choose to practice at Kaiser Permanente after seeing the multiple benefits of our health system to both patients and physicians. Even after a sub-specialty fellowship, many residents come back to practice with us!

Oakland Internal Medicine Class of 2008

Most of our graduates ultimately practice in the Bay Area as subspecialty, primary care or hospital medicine physicians. Many hold leadership or teaching positions.

"Kaiser Oakland is filled with friendly and supportive staff from the fellow residents to the program directors. The attendings are not only knowledgeable but genuinely want to work with and teach the housestaff. There are also multiple daily high quality lectures. This unique combination provided me with the perfect opportunity to learn, conduct research and perform at my best- the key for my successful pursuit of fellowship."
