I enjoyed talking with first-year medical students of the SJV Prime cohort today at UC Merced. These exceptional individuals have already excelled in their undergraduate studies and are on the path to becoming doctors. The SJV PRIME program is dedicated to training physicians who will address the unique healthcare needs of the Central Valley. They are developing homegrown healthcare professionals equipped to provide culturally appropriate care and tackle health disparities in our region.

UCSF Fresno welcomed the sixth cohort of students in the UCSF SJV PRIME to our regional campus this week (July 29) as part of a summer program known as ARISE in Fresno and UC Merced prior to starting classes at the main campus in San Francisco.

The UCSF SJV PRIME Class of 2028 was at UCSF Fresno on Monday and Tuesday meeting faculty, touring facilities and learning more about the program.

The students met with Senator Anna Caballero at the UC Merced Downtown Center in Merced today (July 31). Sen. Caballero gave a legislative update, talked about issues important to the Valley and what makes a good leader.

Some of the students will help staff a UCSF Fresno Mobile HeaL Rural Mobile Health clinic in Mendota tomorrow (Aug. 1).

SJV PRIME is a tailored track for UCSF School of Medicine medical students committed to providing high-quality, diverse and accessible care in the San Joaquin Valley.

Thank you Senator Anna Caballero for speaking with our UCSF School of Medicine SJV PRIME students at the UC Merced Downtown Center today (July 31) regarding your legislative priorities, issues important to you and the Valley and the qualities of good leaders.
