Additional Information

• Board Certified or Board Eligible About the area Kern County offers physicians and their families some of the region’s most affordable housing, along with several of California’s top natural attractions: it’s the closest SCPMG area to the great outdoor experiences of world-famous Yosemite, King’s Canyon, Sequoia, and Death Valley National Parks. The city of Bakersfield is a secret gem, with groves of old-growth trees, wide streets, and blocks of beautiful homes—without the typical Southern California traffic jams.

• Working here Kern County is unique within SCPMG.
• With its smaller-town, less urban feel, there is a true sense of family, of being an integral part of something very special.
• It’s the only medical center within SCPMG that can meet as one united group at the same time.
• Our area’s smaller size fosters open dialogue across all levels, offering physicians a voice and enabling constant improvements, small and large.
• Physicians enjoy the best of two worlds—operating within the stability and support of the Permanente system yet maintaining the feel of a smaller medical group.
• New hires are quickly integrated into the system, for accelerated learning and support.
• This welcoming spirit goes far beyond the medical center: Physicians’ spouses and families are actively connected to one another in social activities, formal and informal, and to local culture and activities.
