The experience is singular, completely one of a kind, and as someone who has worked at BCH, walked with the Batwa, and eaten more matoke than I’m willing to admit, I can tell you firsthand that this is an experience that will stay with you long after you return stateside. Any medical resident looking for a truly surreal and life-changing experience in Global Health should highly consider this opportunity. My one caution is that this experience is not for everyone as many of the modern conveniences that you may be accustomed to will not be readily available in Southwestern Uganda. Additionally, you will be entering a space and providing care to a demographic that will fully view you as an outsider. Therefore, a genuine respect for other cultures and a sincere willingness to learn from and engage with the community is not just recommended but required. Make no mistake, this is an adventure and one that should not be taken lightly.  ![hospital-2-africa-cpmc-im](https://edge.sitecorecloud.io/sutterhealt962c-sutterhealt8fce-production57cc-4860/media/Project/SutterHealth/SutterHealth/Images/GME/Residency/CPMC-Internal-Medicine-Residency-Program/hospital-2-africa-cpmc-im.jpg) That being said, should you choose to pursue this incredible opportunity, you will have encounters with patients, people and even wildlife that will completely alter the way you practice medicine and even how you go about your daily life upon your return. There is an incredibly diverse spectrum of pathology and patient presentation that you will encounter during your clinical time. Furthermore, there are countless ways to get involved with various research and quality improvement projects in order to better understand and address how to best facilitate healthcare delivery in a region as unique as Southwestern Uganda. Lastly, you will have the nightly opportunity to sit at the dinner table alongside and share experiences with other medical professionals from all over the globe as well as local community leaders from just down the road. All that being said, if you are looking for a truly unique and potentially career defining experience in Global Health, look no further.”  ![bwindi-welcome-cpmc-im](https://edge.sitecorecloud.io/sutterhealt962c-sutterhealt8fce-production57cc-4860/media/Project/SutterHealth/SutterHealth/Images/GME/Residency/CPMC-Internal-Medicine-Residency-Program/bwindi-welcome-cpmc-im.png) ### Alumni Testimonials #### Graduate, 2019 **Andy Liu, M.D.**  _Gastroenterology & Hepatology Fellowship, CPMC_ CPMC was the perfect fit for me! As a quaternary care center in the heart of San Francisco and a referral center for Sutter’s vast system of hospitals, I saw a breadth of pathology over the last three years that I never expected to see outside of textbooks. These valuable clinical experiences were supplemented by the program’s remarkable dedication to teaching through daily morning reports and 12:00 pm conferences.  The culmination of these three years have empowered me to feel confident in my training to both care for patients and continue as a lifelong learner. I am truly grateful for the kind and supportive learning environment fostered by the leadership and attendings. Day-to-day, I believe the little things matter and I credit the CPMC family including my peers and ancillary staff for making each day both challenging and enjoyable. I am thankful to have spent my last three years training at a special place like CPMC. **Shravan Rao, M.D.**  _Cardiology Fellowship, CPMC_ CPMC is truly one of the hidden gems of San Francisco for Internal Medicine training. Throughout my three years as a resident (2016-2019), the camaraderie and teamwork amongst the house staff, attendings, and administration are unparalleled. Residents receive excellent training to become a competent physician, and the program truly cares about your individual career goals, whether that be in primary care, hospital medicine, global health, or fellowship training. Other major positives about being at CPMC include participating in high yield morning reports organized by chief residents and having tons of fun outside the hospital with retreats and happy hours. I have been fortunate to have fostered lifelong friendships during my training and am excited to stay at CPMC for my Cardiology Fellowship! I feel anyone would be lucky to complete their residency training at this program. **David Ly, M.D.**  _Hospitalist, Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa_ When I first interviewed at CPMC I was immediately struck by the culture of the place. Everyone, from the Program Director down to the Interns, was warm and approachable. Morning Report was interesting and well run. Most importantly, the Residents all seemed to be genuinely happy. When I submitted my rank list, I went with my gut feeling and ranked CPMC #1. Having graduated, I reflect upon these most formative years of training and I can tell you this. Without hesitation, I would rank CPMC #1 all over again! CPMC is the Quaternary referral center for all of Sutter Health in Northern California; the most complicated clinical cases are transferred to San Francisco. The diversity of our patients and the wide range of pathology we see is astounding. At CPMC, the Medicine you practice will be second to none. One such patient I had the privilege of caring for had a nutritional deficiency as a rare cause of Wernicke's encephalopathy. I wrote this case up as a Clinical Vignette for ACP and won Regionals and was a Finalist at the ACP National Conference. If you want to do research in residency, you will find ample opportunity and complete institutional support behind you. As a resident, I felt part of a larger whole, a member of the CPMC family. Many of our Attendings were former Residents and Chiefs who have stayed on to practice because they just love it here. The Resident culture here is a supportive and nurturing one. We look out for each other here. Over the last three years, I have found lifelong friends among my co-residents and I have found Mentors with whom I will stay in touch with for life. I feel well trained and ready for a career as a Hospitalist. I feel confident I could practice in any healthcare system nationwide. CPMC is a well-respected institution in California with an alumni network that spans the West Coast which definitely helped while applying for jobs. As a excited as I am to become an Attending physician, I will truly miss my time as a CPMC resident; I am a competent and well rounded physician and a better person for it. #### Preliminary R1, 2018-19 **Wilfred Manzano, M.D.**  _Radiology, Stanford University_ CPMC has been an excellent institution to perform my preliminary medicine year before radiology residency. The variety and volume of cases provided ample opportunities to grow as a clinician. The environment at CPMC fosters lifelong learning and curiosity; the morning reports are certainly one of the best features of the program! The CPMC community is highly supportive on both professional and personal levels. I developed strong bonds with my fellow residents, and I will look back upon this year with great memories. **Katherine Chuang, M.D.**  _Ophthalmology, University of Indiana_ Reflecting back on the past year, I would pick CPMC again in a heartbeat! Though intern year will always be challenging (and the great clinical training at CPMC needs no introduction), I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to experience it with. From debriefing challenging patients to Lori’s homemade mochi to attendings treating us to lunch, I felt so cared for and valued this year. Everyone I met was not only interested in my professional development, but also in getting to know me personally as well. I feel so fortunate to have spent my intern year with mentors and peers who will remain close friends for the rest of my life. #### Graduates 2007-2018 **Marietta Smith, M.D.**  **Preliminary R1, 2017-18** _Anesthesia, UC San Diego_ Having attended Dartmouth for medical school, I experienced CPMC not only as a preliminary intern but also as a medical student on my first clinical clerkship. During my 3rd year rotation, I was struck by the engaging morning reports, the diverse patient population, and the collegial work environment. Rounds provided me with a firsthand look at how CPMC attendings and senior residents prioritize the patient experience, take time to teach, and treat categorical and preliminary interns equally. Upon returning two years later, I was welcomed back by the affectionate CPMC family. On my ICU and inpatient medicine months, I again benefitted from the campus being a major referral and transplant center for Northern California as our teams managed a wide range of clinical pathology while respecting cultural differences among our patients. During my elective time, I rotated through inpatient hepatology, renal transplant, advanced heart failure, echo, and PM&R to round out my preparation for anesthesiology. I also appreciated the opportunity to work with UCSF faculty and residents while rotating at SFGH for emergency medicine. In my remaining free time, I’ve hiked in Marin Headlands, eaten at hole-in-the-wall and Michelin star restaurants, explored the wonders of Golden Gate Park, and bonded with my colleagues at post-night shift brunches and intern dinners. From the chief residents to program directors, I’ve been continually impressed by how the program leadership responds to feedback, individualizes their approach to resident development, and works to make housestaff feel appreciated. As I look forward to continuing my training at UC San Diego, I am grateful for the ways in which CPMC has shaped my growth as a physician. **Duc-Uy Quang-Dang, M.D.**  **Graduate, 2014; Chief Resident 2014-15** _Hospitalist, CPMC Pacific Campus_ CPMC fulfilled this with flying colors however what exceeded my expectations was THE PEOPLE. Throughout my residency I felt completely supported by the GME staff, faculty, and co-residents and have developed friendships that will last a lifetime. I am now a hospitalist seeing 14-20 patients a day and I feel CPMC has properly trained me to handle whatever workload or zebra diagnosis that comes my way. **Robert Wong, M.D.**  **Graduate, 2011** _Director, Gastroenterology Education & Research, Highland Hospital ACMC (Oakland)_ _Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Highland Hospital ACMC (Oakland)_ My time at CPMC spanned 2008-2011 as an internal medicine resident. During these early formative years in my medical training, it was clear that CPMC was dedicated to providing cutting edge medical care with a focus on medical education across all disciplines. From the friendly and supportive staff in the GME office who I’ve come to regard as an extended family, to the team of dedicated attendings including hospitalists, primary care physicians, and sub-specialists, the culture at CPMC is an attractive and unique feature of this teaching hospital. Trainees are encouraged to grow and develop their early careers in a supportive, resourceful and welcoming environment that thrives in teamwork and camaraderie. It is this wonderful combination of great people and supportive environment that I attribute my success at matching into a GI fellowship. I am happy to say that I have the opportunity to continue being a part of the CPMC family as site director of the GI Fellowship rotation at Highland Hospital in Oakland. **Lailey Olivia (Sooriash), M.D.**  **Graduate, 2007; Chief Resident 2007-08** _Primary Care, Palo Alto Medical Foundation_ I came into residency not quite sure what I wanted out of my career and I left with a clear vision of not only my career goals, but also my life goals. This transformation seemed to evolve naturally over time with the help of a handful of mentors that I am eternally grateful for knowing. I cherish the time I spent at CPMC and am very excited for anyone who has the chance to train there. **Scott Worswick, M.D.**  **Preliminary R1, Graduate** _Dermatologist, Los Angeles Area_ My decision to pursue an Internal Medicine preliminary year at CPMC, before doing my dermatology residency at UCLA, was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone doing either a preliminary year or an entire residency. There are a number of factors that make CPMC an incredibly special place and somewhere that you will not want to leave. Despite the rigor of internship, it was my favorite year of my life. The hospital is in a great location and attracts a diverse, interesting and friendly group of people. Though you will work hard, you will leave feeling gratified and happy at the end of every day. The nurses at CPMC, the GME office, the supportive and involved teachers, and your fellow co-workers are what make this place so very special. Like any large hospital, you will have ample exposure to interesting pathology, and on top of that the people who surround you are interested in learning and teaching from each other. There is a great balance of work life and an ability to enjoy life outside of work due to CPMC’s phenomenal location. I can almost guarantee you that, like me, you will remember your time here fondly and will hope someday to come back! ### Living in San Francisco There’s never a dull moment in San Francisco, a national hub for culture, dining, outdoor activities, local events, theater and parades.

here to the Bay Area for the first time for undergrad\nat San Francisco State University.\nI eventually went to medical school at UCLA.\nAnd I was really determined to come back here to the Bay, where\nI did part of a urology residency, and, after that,\ndecided to come here to CPMC.\nI chose CPMC because I felt like it\nwas a place where I could get the best bang for my buck\nin terms of having great people, having great training,\nand also a place that could propel me forward in terms\nof the field that I was pursuing,\nwhich is radiology now.\nThe thing I liked most about CPMC has to be the people here,\nwhether it be the staff in the cafeteria\nor whether it be the individuals that are teaching me\non a daily basis.\nEveryone just has such a positive energy\nand just, overall, want to see you do very well,\nwhether that be in your personal life or your professional life.\nI found the faculty at CPMC are always\nwilling to meet you where you are and try to find ways to make\nyou better, whatever your goals are,\nand setting individualized goals for you.\nIn terms of rotations, I think our rotations are great.\nThey give you just enough to make you get your feet wet\nand feel like you're being that doctor and getting challenged.\nBut also, they're not too long to that point where it feels\nlike they're never-ending.\nAnd so you're constantly changing and moving\naround the hospital and getting comfortable in a variety\nof situations.\nAnd we have options in terms of doing\na variety of elective rotations here at CPMC,\nwhether that means doing an away rotation at another institution.\nI found that our faculty have been really OK with that\nand supportive in us getting that training from the outside,\nas well.\nI think the thing that's most unique about CPMC\nis the energy that I feel in this place.\nI feel like people truly, truly care about one another.\nAnd while we do amazing work in our taking care of our patients\ninside of the hospital, we're also\nhaving a great time outside of the hospital, as well.\nAnd I feel like that balance is something that you don't always\nhave in a residency.\nAnd whether that be the preliminary program\nor the categorical program here at CPMC,\nI find that both of those programs\nhave that balance, as well.\nI would say, overall, I would highly recommend CPMC,\nas someone that did a

What CPMC Residents Have to Say Robert Enders, MD","duration":"PT2M53S","transcript":"[MUSIC PLAYING]\n\nROBERT ENDERS: Hello, my name is Robert Enders.\nI'm a second year internal medicine resident\nat CPMC in San Francisco.\nI originally grew up in Kansas City, Kansas,\nwhere I lived until I was 18, before I\nwent to undergrad at the University of Virginia\nin Charlottesville, Virginia.\nI ended up living in Washington DC for about four years\nafter undergrad, before I went back to the University of Kansas\nfor medical school.\nSo what I like most about CPMC is both the faculty\nand the people overall.\nThe faculty are great.\nIt's a learning environment, which is really conducive to us\nas residents.\nIt's a community feel, where it's\nprograms a little bit smaller, but we get a lot of high acuity\nfrom both within San Francisco, but also the Northern California\nregion.\nThe other thing that I like about CPMC\nis the diversity within San Francisco.\nIt's truly a melting pot here.\nIt's something that I was seeking out\nwhen I was looking for residency programs.\nWithin a given day, I'll use interpreters\non pre-rounds for Mandarin, Cantonese, Russian, Spanish,\nyou name it.\nSo what I like most about the faculty at CPMC\nis how approachable all of our faculty are.\nThat's not only just our teaching faculty, but also\nwithin the consultants.\nEveryone is always willing to have it a teachable moment.\nI never fear calling consults, like I did necessarily\nwhen I was in medical school.\nSome of that comes with experience,\nbut also, it's just that everyone\nis nice, willing to do teaching, and is\nsupportive of bolstering our learning environment here\nat CPMC.\nSo for our rotations, they recently\nimplemented a 4 plus 2 schedule, which is something\nthat they did off of feedback, which is something that I really\nappreciate.\nA programs always trying to respond to feedback, and one\nof the things that they are always looking at\nis our rotations.\nThe rotations are nice, because for the most part,\nyou'll be on a rotation for a max of two weeks.\nSo it's enough time to get comfort,\nbut it's also enough time, where if you're\nkind of dragging through it, that you're\nonly on it for two weeks.\nWe have a lot of time, also, that if there's something\nthat you want to dive further into, whether you're\na fellowship driven or just curious,\nyou'll have that opportunity.\nAlso, being within San Francisco,\nwe have a lot of specific clinics\nthat, I think, you might not get exposure\nto elsewhere in the country, such as, like,\nspecific HIV clinic.\nWe get exposure with our free health care\nclinic and multiple other clinic opportunities.\nOverall, everyone here is really supportive of one another.\nWe are all working towards to achieve our collective goals,\nwhether we have fellowship in mind versus patient care.\nEveryone's working in supporting each other, which\nis really fantastic.\n[MUSIC PLAYING]"} ``` ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Hear What CPMC Residents Have to Say | Michael Lauricella,

department\namong many who produce a lot of great literature\nand new discoveries.\nI felt like people got along really well\nand were pushed hard in all the right ways.\nI think our hospitalists are 15 to 20.\nThere's 15 to 20 hospitalists.\nAnd even in the first month, I've\nalmost worked with all of them.\nThey get to know you really well.\nI feel like they're your friends.\nThey're your colleagues, they're your mentors.\nAnd every time you show up to work, it's not a new person.\nThat's true with the specialty departments, too.\nWe have a smaller faculty, and so you get\nto know everyone really well.\nMy favorite part about our rotations\nis that so, if you're on wards, for example--\nI just came off wards--\nit's busy, but you do have a moment to relax,\nI think, in the afternoons after rounds,\nafter you got some of your consults in--\nwhich is really, really nice, so you\ndon't feel like it's like a sprint all day.\nI know that's how I felt in med school sometimes.\nIt just felt like a sprint all day.\nI'm on cards right now and cards is really hard.\n[LAUGHS] It's a hard rotation.\nI think CPMC is not the easiest place to train.\nI think it still stretches your mind,\npushes you in the right ways, ask you to be better.\nCPMC is, in my mind, a very San Franciscan program.\nIt has a multiple campuses and it caters and serves just\nall the different populations of San Francisco.\nThere's the Russian-speaking population,\nand the Taishanese-speaking population.\nThere's the people at the PAC campus,\nand then there's people in the Tenderloin that come through.\nSo it's just a true slice of San Francisco\nunlike you get anywhere else.\nAnd then beyond that, it's a Sutter center.\nSo it gets in transfers from all over northern California.\nSo you have people coming from Clearlake, from Sutter,\nfrom Roseville, and from Sacramento.\nSo you get a slice of all of California\nor Northern California in that way.\nThe most important thing is that we\nhave just a really nice culture here.\nAnd if culture is important to you,\nand having a fun residency experience is important to you,\nI think you should come to CPMC.\n[MUSIC PLAYING]"} ``` ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Hear What CPMC Residents Have to Say | Mary Earp,

faculty.\nI did sub-I actually, my fourth year of medical school here\nat CPMC, and I instantly knew, just\nbased on the way they welcomed me with open arms\ninto their community, I knew I would thrive here.\nBut one of the unique things about our program\nis our resident-driven point-of-care ultrasound\ncurriculum.\nAnd I had an experience with a case\nrecently where this curriculum really\nhelped prepare me to appropriately care\nfor this patient.\nAnd he was a young man who was diagnosed\nwith large pulmonary emboli.\nAnd we were able to do a point-of-care ultrasound\non his heart to determine that he did not have right heart\nstrain, and therefore appropriately triaged him.\nI think because CPMC is a quaternary referral\ncenter for the entire state of California,\nthe kinds of patients we see come from all walks of life\nand all ethnic backgrounds.\nAnd I think it's really important for us\nto have that kind of education to adequately care for people\nwho come from all backgrounds.\nAnd with those backgrounds come various different pathologies\nthat I think I wouldn't have otherwise seen,\nhad I trained at another place.\nHere at CPMC, I really feel that our program leadership\nand our teaching attendings have a vested interest in helping us\nas residents really navigate what it is that we\nwant to do with our future.\nI really get the feeling that they understand that\nour futures are not a one-size-fits-all,\nand they really try to hone in on what it is that you're going\nto be passionate about for the rest of your life.\nAnd how that speaks to me is initially,\nI was contemplating applying into cardiology directly\nout of residency, or taking a couple years as a hospitalist.\nAnd I found that they were overwhelmingly supportive\nof that decision, and were able to pair me up with two mentors,\nactually, to help guide not only my hospitalist career\npath, but also my potential cardiology path in applying\nfor fellowship.\nSo I think training in residency here in San Francisco\nis really a unique experience, because you\nknow as busy as our lives get during residency, being\nin a place like San Francisco is really unlike any other.\nThe kinds of culture, of course, that we have here\nis unsurpassed.\nBut also just the people that live here, we\nhave a certain type of open-mindedness and acceptance\nthat I think is really

remember my intern year, in my first month,\nI saw a case of thyroid storm and a pheochromocytoma.\nSo we've been seeing a lot of interesting cases,\nwhether it's in endocrinology or cardiology.\nThis morning, we saw a case of severe mitral leakage\nfrom mitral valve prolapse.\nAnd I think you can see interesting cases\nin every field.\n[MUSIC PLAYING]"} ```
