Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant Residency

Founded in 2015 at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, California; the program began its first class in 2016. Affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine, we offer an 18 month postgraduate program that will accept two PA trainees per year. Graduates who successfully complete the training program will receive a certificate of completion from UCSF.

Our curriculum is based on the Model of the Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine and the Society of Emergency Medicine Physician Assistants (SEMPA) Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant Postgraduate Training Program Standards. PA trainees will learn and work alongside physician residents during their clinical and didactic training. The program will feature a strong emphasis on clinical teaching and hands-on training. The purpose of the Physician Assistant Postgraduate Training Program is to provide extensive emergency medicine patient management skills that would propel graduates into successful future careers in both academic and private practice settings.

The UCSF Fresno Emergency Medicine Program, established in 1974, is one of the oldest emergency medicine programs in the country. The 4 year residency accepts 10 residents per year and has fellowships in emergency ultrasound, wilderness medicine and medical education.
