UCLA Medical Center
Although the UCLA Medical
Center has a separate Medicine Residency program, the
UCLA-Olive View program is sponsored through UCLA and
the two programs share identical housestaff benefits.
Our residents rotate to UCLA for wards, CCU/MICU and
Geriatrics rotations, while their residents rotate to
Olive View for wards and Urgent Care rotations. UCLA
is our "sister" hospital and we enjoy a healthy and
forward-looking relationship.
