Dr. Monique Atwal is an alum of the San Joaquin Valley UC Programs in Medical Education (UC PRIME) program who grew up in Selma and now serves as a psychiatrist and faculty member at UCSF Fresno.

In a new video, shared below, she reflects on how her UC PRIME education shaped her path in health care. “Being a doctor wasn’t just about me,” she says. “I always wanted to return to the Valley. Being in the PRIME program gave me the opportunity to be part of the safety net of health care here.”

Her story mirrors the broader mission of UC PRIME, an innovative curriculum designed to train physicians who are connected to their communities and prepared to address California’s most pressing health care shortages.
