At Kaweah Health in Visalia, California, you have the opportunity to choose your ideal fit: step into a visionary leadership role as Program Director of the Anesthesiology Residency or embrace a rewarding and balanced clinical career as a General Anesthesiologist. Each position offers exceptional compensation, lifestyle alignment, and the chance to work in a collegial team deeply committed to both patient care and physician well-being.
Whether you’re driven by the desire to shape the next generation or focused on delivering excellent care with flexibility, you can find purpose and satisfaction here.
As Program Director, you’ll lead a growing and innovative ACGME-accredited residency program in a unique community-based teaching environment. Your week is purposefully balanced: 60% dedicated to academic and administrative leadership, and 40% clinical engagement.
You’ll mentor a rising cohort of residents (expanding from 4 to 6 per year) while influencing curriculum, clinical rotation structure, and the evolution of a young, energetic program eager for stability and growth. Supported by a passionate GME community, simulation lab access, and affiliations with USC, UC Irvine, and Valley Children’s Hospital.
The current Program Director is stepping back to focus on clinical work—opening the door for a new leader to bring fresh energy and long-term vision. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced academic anesthesiologist to make a lasting impact without the red tape often found in larger institutions.
As a general anesthesiologist at Kaweah Health, your role is designed for balance, autonomy, and professional satisfaction. You'll work three 10-hour shifts per week plus one call day, with a guaranteed post-call day off.
The practice covers a diverse case mix—orthopedics, endoscopy, trauma, some OB, vascular, and podiatric surgery—within a single, well-resourced hospital. Join a collaborative group of 14 anesthesiologists and over 20 CRNAs, with residents taking first call 24/7.
Both roles are based in Visalia, a vibrant Central California community offering an enviable lifestyle, affordable housing, and proximity to Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. Whether you’re called to lead, teach, or simply practice medicine with excellence and balance, Kaweah Health offers a path where your professional and personal goals can align.
