AdvancED 2020 Residency Fair: Kaweah Delta

The Kaweah Delta Health Care District's Emergency Medicine Program welcomed its first class of 6 residents on July 1, 2013. Due to the wonderful unopposed learning that comes with a new graduate medical education program, our residents have had amazing experiences in their first few months of training. Kaweah Delta Medical Center attracts patients from all the neighboring communities and the hospital's commitment to creating an ever-improving learning environment makes our institution an ideal site to train in Emergency Medicine.

In November 2016, the ACGME approved our request to increase the number of residents accepted into each class to 13 residents per year. In April 2016, the ACGME awarded our program Continued Accreditation for 10 years.
