About our Residency Program and Faculty
Shasta Community Health Center in Redding, California sponsors an accredited Rural Training Program in Family Medicine affiliated with the University of California at Davis. The program provides strong exposure to obstetrics, pediatrics, procedures and homeless /community medicine. Three residents per year (PGY-1 through PGY-3) are accepted in each class. The SCHC Family Medicine Residency works closely with the Mercy Redding Family Practice Residency Program, rotating on inpatient services and sharing call.
