Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center is collaborating with the UC Berkeley School of Public Health in offering a population-health focused residency program. The program is small – there are two degrees being offered and only two residents matched into each of the programs each year. Two residents are in an Internal Medicine-Masters in Public Health (MPH) track and the other two are in a Pediatrics MPH track. There have been a total of 16 program graduates so far.
