Program Details

Program Highlights and/or Unique Curriculum Components:
Natividad is a community-based residency sponsored by California’s first public hospital and founded in 1975. Family Medicine is the only residency at Natividad, known for robust inpatient family medicine training, high-volume and high-risk obstetrics, and family planning including abortion care. Residents and faculty care for patients in a safety net FQHC on the hospital campus that is sponsored by the Monterey county health department. With support from a multidisciplinary team including behavioral health and a medico-legal partnership, our residents learn to care for the Latinx community and address the health disparities affecting immigrant farm workers. Natividad is located 2 hours south of San Francisco and 20 minutes from Monterey, on the beautiful Central Coast. We are affiliated with UCSF and Touro California Medical Schools, and residents have teaching opportunities on every rotation. We have 10 clerkship students on-site year round and many visiting students. Our OB Fellows learn operative and high risk obstetrical care, and our UCSF HEAL Global Health fellows and residents rotate at our partner site Companeros en Salud (Partners in Health) in Chiapas, Mexico. We also sponsor a Community Medicine Fellowship to help fellows develop the skills needed to provide care and advocacy for farmworkers and patients experiencing homelessness.

Faculty Composition:

Our faculty bring a wide breadth of skills and diverse experience to the department. This includes expertise in reproductive health/family planning, global health, high risk maternity care, geriatrics, integrative medicine, medical ethics, MAT, chronic pain management, point of care ultrasound, occupational health, operative obstetrics, public health and community advocacy. The majority of our faculty practice full spectrum family medicine, providing maternity care and/or inpatient hospital care in addition to ambulatory primary care. We are unified in our commitment to providing outstanding care for Monterey County’s most vulnerable patients and training residents who share that commitment

The resident schedule allows for flexible call trades to facilitate life events, vacation and family time.

Monterey County has amazing outdoor activities – surfing along the Monterey Bay coast from Carmel to Santa Cruz, hiking and camping in Big Sur and Pinnacles, biking on the coastal trail or in Fort Ord, and restaurants and wineries from Monterey to Carmel Valley.
