Santa Clara Valley Medical Center

Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC), founded in 1876, is the oldest and only publicly-operated hospital in Santa Clara County, as well as being the major provider of health care for San Jose. As a large public hospital with many specialized and regional services, SCMVC serves a high proportion of low-income patients from many different cultural backgrounds. The hospital is located 30 minutes south of Stanford. Its affiliation with the Stanford School of Medicine provides residents with a county hospital experience and the opportunity to work with an underserved population. Residents rotate in mammography and IR at SCVMC.
