Leadership through excellence in primary care training
2025 Interview Season:
We are excited to begin our 2025 Interview Season, which will begin Nov. 10th, 2025!
Program Update:
Beginning in the 2026-27 academic year, our residency will transition its ACGME sponsorship from Stanford Health Care to Santa Clara Valley Healthcare (SCVH), Santa Clara County’s large, mission-driven safety-net health system.
This transition represents an administrative change only. The faculty and leadership remain committed to our curriculum, our mission, and our values. We will maintain our academic affiliation with Stanford, and residents will be able to do clinical rotations at Stanford, teach and mentor Stanford medical students, and participate in the O’Connor-Stanford Leaders in Education (OSLER) faculty development pathway, the Stanford Health Professions Education and Scholarship (SHAPES) Program, and the Leadership Education in Advancing Diversity (LEAD) Program.
Our partnership with SCVH is long-standing. The majority of our inpatient training has already taken place at SCVH hospitals since O’Connor Hospital joined the County system in 2019. Our residency continuity clinic will transition to a county-run site at the start of the next academic year, ensuring seamless continuation of the mission-driven, community- based training that defines our program.
Santa Clara Valley Healthcare is Northern California’s largest public hospital system, serving nearly one in four county residents through four hospitals and fifteen community health centers. Its integrated, expanding network delivers a full continuum of care and exemplifies a deep commitment to equity and access for all. We are proud to have a partner whose mission and service are so deeply aligned with our own.
Within this robust system, our residents train in an unopposed environment at two hospitals – O’Connor Hospital and Regional Medical Center – both of which retain a close-knit, community feel and culture of collegial collaboration. This blend of scale and intimacy provides the best of both worlds: the resources of a large public system and the autonomy, continuity, and personal connection that make Family Medicine unique.
