Medical Education Initiative (MEDI)

MEDI partners are aiming to provide a locally accessible and comprehensive medical education program focused on alleviating the shortage of healthcare professionals, while also addressing the significant health care challenges faced by residents throughout Kern County and the Central Valley. Kern Medical Center, Bakersfield College, the Kern Community College District, and the Rural HEAL Collaborative have come together and are inviting others to support in this initiative.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been both a source of disruption as well as a catalyst, bringing clarity and urgency to the needs of increasing access to local options for medical education, a concept that has been brewing for the past decade. By launching a new medical education program, we can improve the health of communities by retaining homegrown talent who will stay, work within, and serve their home communities. Kern Medical and Bakersfield College are ready to respond via the Medical Education Initiative (MEDI).
