The goal of our program is to provide comprehensive, rigorous and humanistic training in internal medicine. Our graduates are skilled, compassionate physicians well prepared for any career path they ultimately choose.

Our training sites include the UC Irvine Medical Center, Orange County's only academic medical center; UC Irvine Gottschalk Plaza, in Irvine; the Tibor Rubin Long Beach Veterans Administration Hospital; and Long Beach Memorial Medical Center. Together, these facilities provide our residents with exposure to a diverse patient population, broad range of pathology and different practice models.

Of the many strengths of our program, our residents are by far our most outstanding asset. Their drive for excellence, intellectual curiosity, camaraderie, and unending support for each other help make our program all that it is.

We hope that our program’s values align with yours and embody what you envision in a training program. Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your interest!
