100 newly minted physicians were at UCSF Fresno for a Clinical Skills Boot Camp today. The event is part of their orientation at UCSF Fresno, kicking off the start of their residency training. New residents aka interns rotated through interactive simulation stations such as central line placement, airway management, rapid response, and other essential skills. 

These new doctors will be training in Fresno for the next three to five years and hopefully longer should they decide to practice in the San Joaquin Valley.

The commencement on June 11, 2026, celebrated the completion of years of training for UCSF Fresno residents and fellows, and for Community Medical Centers General Dentistry residents. Every seat on the floor of the auditorium in the college’s Old Administration Building was filled for the ceremony, with more well-wishers watching from the balcony.

“Completing residency and fellowship training is rigorous, challenging, and rewarding, and cannot be accomplished alone. We are grateful to your family, friends, and support networks who have encouraged and supported you throughout your medical training. We thank them tonight,” said UCSF Fresno Vice Dean Jose M. Barral Sanchez, MD, PhD, who asked the audience to give a round of applause.

UCSF’s innovative, collaborative approach to patient care, research and education spans disciplines across the life sciences, making it a world leader in scientific discovery and its translation to improving health.

UCSF Fresno celebrated the completion of training of more than 100 residents and fellows at a commencement ceremony last night at Fresno City College’s Old Administration Building Auditorium.
Approximately 40% of the UCSF Fresno graduating residents and fellows are remaining in the Central Valley, and about 70% are staying in California. The San Joaquin Valley faces a dire shortage of physicians, and as the population grows and ages, the gap between the need for health care and practicing physicians continues to widen. As a regional campus of the UCSF School of Medicine, UCSF Fresno is the largest contributor to the regional physician workforce. UCSF Fresno is addressing physician shortages by training residents, fellows, medical students and preparing high school and community college students to be competitive applicants to medical school and other health professional schools through a variety of pathway programs.
