UCSF Fresno celebrated commencement at the Saroyan Theatre in person tonight (June 9) for the first time since 2019.

Many of the graduates are staying in Fresno and the Central Valley to care for patients, teach future physicians or continue their medical education.

Let’s hope this is the beginning of the end. Mask and distance while vaccinations are ongoing!
