Family. It’s in the name of our specialty. Here at UCR, though, it’s not just a label. It’s so much more.  It’s the concept that informs and animates everything we do. It is who we are. We strive to give our patients the best possible care. We know that no individual person is truly alone and that what makes up each family is as diverse as the individuals themselves. We work for the health of each family unit as a whole, regardless of what family means to them. We see our big, beautiful, diverse community as our family, and strive to make it healthier.

However, no family unit is more important than the one in our Residency Program. Our faculty and staff, our clinical site partners, and most importantly, our residents are our family. A family that you can depend on for support, honesty, and respect. A family that can laugh together, cry together, and grow together.  If this sounds like your kind of family, join us. Your home is waiting for you here.

Sincerely,

Kenneth Ballou, MD
