The California Health Sciences University College of Osteopathic Medicine is proud to partner with Fresno Pacific University (FPU) and other colleges and universities in the Central Valley to help address the shortage of physicians in our region.

Fresno Pacific University recently announced its participation in the CHSU Future DOctors Program, which offers guaranteed interview opportunities to FPU students who meet specific academic and admissions requirements.

“Pathway programs such as this, prove a clear path for high school students and college students trying to navigate their way towards achieving acceptance to our local medical school,”

John Graneto, DO, M.Ed., Dean of the CHSU College of Osteopathic Medicine.

FPU has nearly 2,900 undergraduate and graduate students studying on five campuses in Fresno and other Valley communities. With its structured plan, personalized guidance and guaranteed interview opportunities, CHSU’s Future DOctor Program can help achieve students dreams while staying close to home.

“The partnership between CHSU and FPU connects our students and their passion with an exceptional medical school opportunity right in our back yard. It’s opportunities like these that make FPU #1 in social mobility and connects to the health needs of our community,”

Quention Kinnison, Ph.D., Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at Fresno Pacific University
