What our residents are saying:

"Kaiser Oakland is a phenomenal place to train. The attendings are fabulous teachers. The program is supportive of your career goals and provides one with an excellent foundation in internal medicine. It will prepare you well for a career in hospital medicine. It is a place where every resident matters and will always have a special place in my heart."

Arpna Bhola, MD

"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."

The combination of diversity of clinical cases, outstanding teaching by attendings, and encouragement of resident autonomy has created an ideal environment for 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 have formed a solid foundation of clinical competence that will continue with me through the course of my career in Medicine."
