Why St. Joe’s TY Residency?

Robust community hospital experience, allows you to care for a diverse patient population in the ED, ICU, and beyond. I've felt supported in increasing my autonomy over patient care which has made the transition from medical student to physician easier.

My co-interns are some of the best people I know. This program has attracted a group of people who are looking to build strong friendships and foster a good work-life balance. Ask us about our game nights!

Attendings, senior residents, and hospital staff have been absolutely amazing; from ICU nurses always feeding you coffee/snacks to ED attendings playing the Barbie soundtrack to get you through a night shift.

TY/EM bootcamp was the perfect way to start residency, lots of didactics and simulations to freshen your clinical memory, and ED shifts force you to be an actual doctor for the first time.

Scheduling rotations is flexible, and program leadership will work with you to optimize your schedule.

I find the attendings to be smart, relatable, and easy to communicate with. I love how collaborative the learning environment is and Stockton also has Trader Joe’s and Costco!

If you were a fruit, which fruit would you be? I’ve always wanted to be an avocado. They mix well with others and have a strong core. However, with all of our powers combined the TY’s are the dragonfruit. According to dole.com, the dragonfruit is "exotic," “easy to enjoy,“ and "helps to boost your health.”

Why St. Joe’s TY Residency?
