Combining the science of medicine and the art of caring
The people of Sharp share the values of integrity, caring, safety, innovation and excellence. Here, you’ll join a diverse team of individuals dedicated to advancing the science of medicine and the art of caring. It’s what we call The Sharp Experience and it means you’ll do more than just work here; you’ll be part of something bigger — a supportive, purpose-driven community dedicated to improving the health of those we serve.
At Sharp, we believe that what makes each of us different is what makes us stronger. We’re proud to have over 2,700 affiliated physicians and 18,000 employees serving the San Diego community. We believe our various backgrounds, personal experiences and unique talents help us better relate to and care for the community we are serving.
We celebrate diversity and embrace everyone regardless of age, gender, disability, race, ethnicity, creed, national origin, religion, sexual orientation or other characteristic. And we actively foster a diverse and inclusive environment through the care we offer and the people we employ.
Our commitment to providing inclusive, accessible health care to all in our community extends to our LGBTQ+ patients. It’s one more way we put our patients at the center of all we do.
