Redwoods Resident Program

The DaVita Redwoods Resident Program is a yearlong immersive experience is designed to equip you with the business and operational cornerstones that make DaVita the leading healthcare provider it is today.

Three formal mentors, one VP supervisor, several subject experts and an executive coach will work with you to help drive feedback and support your continued growth throughout the program. An incredible cohort of smart, ambitious, meaning-driven Residents will push you beyond what you thought possible. And at the end of a successful program, you will transition to a full-time role as a field operator or corporate leader.

High-Impact Communicator

“It was abundantly clear that DaVita was very serious about investing in a young generation of leaders, and had created an amazing support network for me to continue on a steep leadership learning curve that I had started in business school. DaVita is willing to give young leaders more responsibility earlier and create a safe and coaching environment to shine … and make mistakes as a part of our development! This is absolutely the premier GM and leadership training track in or out of health care available to aspiring leaders.”
