Our
Program offers a fully-accredited 3-year categorical track in Internal
Medicine. We take pride in having consistently maintained a continued
full-accreditation status from the ACGME through the years.
The
program provides the utmost clinical and scholarly experiences to its
residents, in a setting conducive to learning, striving to attain the
optimal balance between resident autonomy and faculty supervision.
Residents are intensely involved in direct patient management, under close
guidance by our faculty who are highly-motivated to teach. Being immersed
in a large multi-cultural patient population with a wide diversity of
pathology encompassing the entire spectrum of Medicine, excellence in the
clinical areas obviously is the strongest attribute of a UCLA-KMC resident.
Being
a University-affiliated program, we also give high priority to research.
The residents are mandated to take part in the Annual Research Forum at Kern Medical Center, and in the Annual Solomon
Scholars Research Day at UCLA. Numerous
Department-sponsored studies have been published, and every year, our
residents present notable papers in major national scientific meetings.
Most of
our graduates elect to practice General Medicine, and they move on to
become successful practitioners in the community. The Program also actively
supports residents who choose to do further subspecialty training. Our graduates who go on to pursue
fellowships do so in renowned University programs.
