This graduation season, 660 people are heading into the healthcare workforce with degrees from the University of California’s four schools of nursing.

After graduation, she will work at a nurse practitioner residency program in primary care with UC Davis Health, serving low-income patients in the Central Valley. “My passion has always been to work in primary care, since there’s still such a big gap in access, especially in underserved areas,” Matyac said. |
