The KPCVEM Program offers a unique opportunity to train in Emergency Medicine within a highly coordinated and well-organized system focused on integrated health care. In addition, access to San Joaquin General Hospital, Doctors Medical Center in Modesto, and Children’s Hospital of Oakland allows our trainees to get a comprehensive, well-rounded EM experience in a variety of clinical settings.
