Olive View - UCLA Medical Center

Sylmar, California, United States of America

ACGME - accredited since 1975, the UCLA-Olive View Internal Medicine Program (previously the UCLA-San Fernando Valley Program) is based at the Olive View-UCLA Medical Center. It is one of two UCLA-sponsored programs, the other being the UCLA Medicine program at the medical school campus, and the two programs share rotations and a strong relationship. Both are affiliated with the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

The Olive View - UCLA Medical Center is an academic county hospital nestled in the foothills of Los Angeles County. We offer categorical and preliminary positions. Olive View is well known as one of the best teaching sites among UCLA medical students (don’t take our word for it, ask them). We recruit residents who are enthusiastic about learning and teaching, and who enjoy caring for county patients and the underserved. This program offers a balanced experience in inpatient and outpatient medicine. Our residents spend about 80% of their inpatient rotations at the Olive View county hospital and 20% at the Ronald Reagan-UCLA Medical Center in Westwood or the Santa Monica-UCLA hospital. The combination of county- and university-based hospitals offers a comprehensive experience in Internal Medicine.
