Highlights
Below are comments from recent visiting learners and students here at Kaweah
Delta Health Care District:
KD allows for great medical exposure and an awesome environment for learning.
I only wish I could've done every rotation offered here!" "The
faculty and staff at KD are not only great clinicans, but amazing teachers
as well. They've cultivated an open and non-hostile atmosphere that's
awesome for learning!" Can't recommend KD highly enough if you're
a medical student considering them for clinical rotations. Awesome attendings
and residents, and the wonderful GME staff make the scheduling process
and rotation as amazing as possible!-

The hands-on experience, combined with evidence-based practice, far exceeded
my initial expectations and was rivaled solely by the friendly and remarkably
helpful faculty and staff.-MS4 Brandon-
I have had wonderful experiences with all my rotations at KDH. The attendings
are not only incredibly well trained physicians, but also amazing teachers.
Their desire to teach encouraged my desire to learn. The plethora of procedures
is unparalleled by any other hospital at which I have rotated. I would
recommend Kaweah Delta to any medical student that wants to get the most
out of their education! -

Kaweah Delta is an institution where preceptors teach by allowing students
hands on instruction. As a medical student I have been given countless
opportunities to work directly with patients which has helped me to improve
in all areas of patient care.-
MS4 Jared-
I would highly recommend Kaweah Delta because of their undifferentiated
patient population, high volume and acuity, and the autonomy that they
afford to medical students, which is unparalleled when compared to other
institutions that I rotated at. Resident and Medical Student education
is a priority here and the faculty really go out of their way to teach
and give timely and constructive feedback to students.-

My training at Kaweah Delta has been excellent at every level. From the
hands on clinical training to the supportive GME staff, Kaweah Delta GME
has been there at every step to ensure my success. When you are here,
you are more than just a student passing through, you are like family.-MS3 Andy -
I wanted to complete my 4th year at Kaweah Delta because of its close proximity
from home and the incredible things I have heard from my upperclassmen
and my experience at Kaweah has been nothing short of incredible. So far
I have completed 3 electives and currently doing a 4th one. My first 2
electives were purely outpatient and I worked directly with the attendings.
They were extremely pleasant to work with and were eager to teach and
impart any wisdom that they could. By being at super busy clinics I was
able to work independently and gain a lot of hands on experience. My next
elective was an inpatient ICU setting and equally busy. This time I had
a throng of residents, nurses, and techs to teach and guide me as well.
The residents were tremendously helpful and patient. One aspect about
this particular rotation that I liked a lot was that the residents were
from different residencies (EM, Transitional, Surgery and Family Med)
and all of them taught me something that was unique to there field of
interest , for e.g. the Surgery and EM residents refreshed my memory and
skills on how to suture and tie knots, Dr. Wolfe (EM resident) spent a
decent amount of time familiarizing me with the art of ultrasound, Family
Med resident imparted advice on long term patient care and transitional
residents esp Dr. Bhakta answered any and every question that I had. Choosing
Kaweah Delta for my 4th year electives has been one of the great decisions
I have made.- MS4 Mehrab-
KDHCD has an unique and vivacious culture that allows students to excel.
They have provided me with the resources necessary to obtain excellent
medical education and clinical skills before residency placement. GME
has been incredibly helpful in coordinating my clinical rotations. A big
thanks goes out to the GME medical education coordinator Lindsay Christiansen
who is passionate and genuinely cares about medical students achieving
their goals and enhancing their educational experience. I am happy that
KDHCD as provided me the education and clinical skills necessary to be
the skilled physician I plan on becoming -
