Kern Medical is proud to acknowledge April as National Donate Life Month! Today, Kern Medical held a press conference in partnership with OneLegacy and JJ’s Legacy as part of the "Flags Across America" awareness campaign. This initiative is in partnership with Donate Life California, the state's organ and tissue donor registry, and OneLegacy, an organization facilitating organ, eye, and tissue recovery in Kern County and the wider Los Angeles region. As a trauma center, Kern Medical plays a vital role in the donation process. We extend our gratitude to our dedicated frontline nurses and staff, as well as to the generous donors who have made a life-saving impact. #DonateLife #KernMedicalCares

Exciting News! 🎉 Kern Medical has been granted accreditation for both the General Surgery Residency Program and the Addiction Medicine Fellowship by the ACGME. The General Surgery Residency Program is five years in duration, and will have 12 resident physicians. The first class will graduate in June 2030. The program is led by Amber Jones, DO, MPH, FACS, FCCP Program Director. In addition, our Addiction Medicine Fellowship will see its first fellow on July 1, 2024.

It is a one-year program led by Sarah Gonzalez, MD, FASAM, who serves as its Program Director. In addition to the general surgery program and addiction medicine fellowship, Kern Medical has residencies in emergency medicine, internal medicine, OB/GYN, psychiatry and clinical pharmacy, and fellowships in infectious disease, child and adolescent psychiatry, and addiction psychiatry, with a total of 110 residents and fellows.
