Class of 2023 (AKA the Covid Class) started residency at the peak of pandemic. Braving through the storm of covid and that chaos of residency, these physicians are known to be one of the most qualified classes to graduate from the residency. And lucky for us, more than half of them are staying in Modesto!	For the first time in two years, VCME held an open graduation, with everybody in the program invited to an afternoon of celebrating the class of 2022's accomplishments and saying farewell
