Combined Internal Medicine/Psychiatry Residents
Margaret Leung, M.D.
Although the program is new, there is an unparalleled level of enthusiasm and support from both the Departments of Medicine and Psychiatry in supporting this unique residency. There is also a great balance between medicine and psychiatry. I was impressed with the combined faculty not only as excellent clinicians but also as outstanding teachers and mentors who have a genuine interest in my professional development and career. Moreover, I know that the diverse training sites will provide a solid clinical background in working with a diverse patient population, ranging from the uninsured and county patients at UC Davis to private patients at Kaiser to forensics patients at the county jail. I felt right at home as a visiting medical student in my fourth year of medical school, and am now excited to be part of the UC Davis family.
Adrian Palomino, M.D.
As an applicant I was looking for a program that was as excited about the intersection of mental and physical health as I was. The UC Davis Internal Medicine/Psychiatry program combines the energy and enthusiasm of a new program with the resources of an established institution. The extremely personable faculty are engaged in a variety of projects that stand as a testament to the progressive potential of med/psych, including publishing, clinical research and physician education. With numerous dual-boarded faculty, role models abound. For those free moments, the rugged wilderness of the Sierras and the California coast are only a short drive away.
