The Curriculum

“The skills you learn in such a rigorous program prepare you to deal logically with the unknown. The complex cases you handle make routine care seem easy. You will be extremely marketable when you are looking for a job. Finally, you will feel a profound sense of accomplishment after leaving the Nat.”

– W. Mark Peluso, MD
Natividad FP Residency Graduate
