Dafhney Ferrer, M.D.
I chose UC Davis Psychiatry because I wanted to train where community wasn’t just a listed value, but something woven into the culture with intention and care. Every step of the way, I’ve been welcomed like family. We lift each other up, celebrate each other’s wins, and support each other through the hard days. I love that our program values compassion as much as clinical excellence. UC Davis Psychiatry nurtures curiosity, collaboration, and connection, encouraging growth not just as a professional, but as a whole person."—Dafhney Ferrer, M.D., PGY-4
