Welcome
To Harbor-UCLA
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—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 just the right
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. In
2007, 100% of our graduating residents were certified by the American
Board of Internal Medicine.
Harbor-UCLA’s
Department of 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 hope that you will strongly consider
Harbor-UCLA Medical Center for the next phase of your medical career in
internal medicine.
