Welcome to the Harbor-UCLA Internal Medicine Residency Training Program!Public hospitals have a long and rich tradition of linking outstanding training programs with academic and research productivity. Harbor-UCLA Medical Center carries on that tradition with its own unique identity—both a public hospital and one of the major teaching hospitals of the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. It's a "Harbor tradition" that our trainees develop their clinical skills and medical knowledge in an environment that strikes the right balance between independence and supervision. When you join us as a resident, you will be challenged to use your initiative and clinical judgment in patient care, but at the same time, our faculty provides an ideal mix of teaching and supervision.Our residents see the widest possible range of internal medicine problems, and this experience gives them the skills and knowledge to succeed in any internal medicine career. Our graduates have accepted academic internal medicine and subspecialty faculty positions, entered medicine and subspecialty fellowships, or have joined medicine practices throughout California and the U.S. Harbor-UCLA’s Department of Internal Medicine faculty, fellows, researchers, and residents are closely involved in biomedical research. Federal, non-profit, and industry research grants support molecular and cell biology, animal research, and clinical and epidemiological studies. Specialized centers on campus focus on cancer epidemiology, coronary artery disease, pulmonary hypertension, COPD, pulmonary rehabiliation, and much more. The bottom line? Graduates of our training program get much more than an outstanding medical education at Harbor-UCLA. Our residents develop the camaraderie that comes from facing challenging clinical experiences and the opportunity to make a difference to our patients, many of whom have no other sources of medical care. This Harbor tradition makes a lasting impression on our graduates and continues to influence their subsequent professional lives. We would like very much for you to consider us for the next phase of your career in medicine, and we believe that our program offers a broad and intensive clinical experience, a stimulating and academic atmosphere, and an environment that fosters professional growth and self-confidence.
