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.
