Welcome to the Kaiser Permanente San Jose Family Medicine Residency Program!
We began with our first residency class in 2018 and have developed an innovative hybrid block/longitudinal curriculum that makes training more enjoyable and sustainable.
At San Jose, our residents care for our diverse patients and their communities and receive quality training in a supportive environment. We enjoy a respectful and collaborative relationship between primary care and our specialist colleagues and have enthusiastic faculty who practice full spectrum Family Medicine.
We are excited to train future Family Physicians, leaders, and teachers, and are looking for prospective residents who are passionate, motivated, and interested in blazing a trail for others to follow. If this sounds like you, we invite you to join our San Jose Family!
