Careers

A healthier community starts with physicians, nurses, and staff who have a passion for elevating the health and well-being of our diverse community. Kern Medical and Adventist Health both care deeply about this community and are looking for physicians who can join us in offering the highest quality of care. We are dedicated to finding the best physicians and offering them an advantageous place to work, live and grow.

Our Kern County community has the region’s most affordable housing, along with several of California’s top natural attractions. It’s the closest area to many great outdoor experiences of world-famous Yosemite, King’s Canyon, Sequoia National Forest, and Death Valley National Parks. The City of Bakersfield is a secret gem; just two hours North of Los Angeles on the Kern River, with groves of old-growth trees, wide streets, and blocks of beautiful homes—without the typical Southern California traffic jams.

Community Highlights

  • A community of 500,000 residents — almost 1 million people in Kern County
  • Excellent schools, great neighborhoods and affordable housing
  • Proximity to world-class beaches and the Sierra Nevada mountains
  • Rated as one of the “Best Places to Live in California” by US News
  • Easy access to museums, concerts, golf courses and more
  • In the San Joaquin Valley, 90 minutes from LA — two hours to Disneyland!
