Neurology About the area Kern County offers physicians and their
families some of the region’s most affordable housing, along with
several of California’s top natural attractions: it’s the closest
SCPMG area to the great outdoor experiences of world-famous
Yosemite, King’s Canyon, Sequoia, and Death Valley National Parks.
The city of Bakersfield is a secret gem, with groves of old-growth
trees, wide streets, and blocks of beautiful homes—without the
typical Southern California traffic jams. Working here Kern County
is unique within SCPMG. With its smaller-town, less urban feel,
there is a true sense of family, of being an integral part of
something very special. It’s the only medical center within SCPMG
that can meet as one united group at the same time. Our area’s
smaller size fosters open dialogue across all levels, offering
physicians a voice and enabling constant improvements, small and
large. Physicians enjoy the best of two worlds—operating within the
stability and support of the Permanente system yet maintaining the
feel of a smaller medical group. New hires are quickly integrated
into the system, for accelerated learning and support. This
welcoming spirit goes far beyond the medical center: Physicians’
spouses and families are actively connected to one another in
social activities, formal and informal, and to local culture and
activities. Equal Employment Opportunity External hires must pass a
background check/drug screen. Qualified applicants with arrest
and/or conviction records will be considered for employment in a
manner consistent with Federal, state and local laws, including but
not limited to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance. All
qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment
without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin,
sexual orientation, gender identity, protected veteran, or
disability status.
