Hey there friends! This is Nick Cevallos. Thanks for tuning into
another episode of Pass the Mike where I have the pleasure of
sharing the narratives of imminent or current medical
professionals. In short, my job is to build you a community of
mentors from the folks that have come before you. I am STOKED to
record another episode with my closest mentor and father, Dr.
James Cevallos. That's J-A-M-E-S space
C-E-V-A-L-L-O-S. James graduated from UCI and he did so with a
major in biology. He then completed a Masters of Arts in Biology
at CSU Dominguez Hills and a subsequent Medical Degree at UCSD.
He then completed his Family Medicine Residency at Kaiser
Southern California and worked for Kaiser for a few years
following residency where he then transitioned to work at San
Ysidro Health center serving as a clinic director for 9 years and
is also is volunteer faculty for UCSD where he serves as a
preceptor for medical students. He also serves as volunteer
faculty for Flying Samaritans at UCLA which runs a free clinic in
Tijuana, Mexico (and is even featured as the cover)


There’s a long list of education roles and leadership but Dr.
James Cevallos is also a proud father to 3 kids and is also the
head varsity basketball coach for Kearny high school home of the
