How To Apply

The mission of our residency mirrors the mission of Sutter Health, “We enhance the well-being of people in the communities we serve through a not-for-profit commitment to compassion and excellence in healthcare services.”

It is important to the Transitional Year Residency Program that residents’ conduct mirror the mission and values of Sutter Health when working as well as outside of work. We are looking for applicants that are outstanding clinically and always represent the core values of the residency and the institution as it serves its community.

The program will begin reviewing files through ERAS as soon as the files are opened for review.  Invitations will be sent out as soon as possible after that.

International Applicants

Effective January 1, 2020, the Medical Board of California will no longer issue Postgraduate Training Authorization Letters (PTAL) to International Medical School Graduates. Therefore, it is not a requirement to apply to our program. To qualify, the medical school needs to be recognized by the Medical Board of California.

At this time, we do not sponsor J1, H1B, or other types of visas.
