Special Features
The program is a unique hybrid model blending academic rigor with the insights and efficiencies of private practice. There are a variety of busy, diverse clinical sites, including private and county hospitals, the VA, UCLA, outpatient clinics, and a high-volume surgery center. We pride ourselves on having a family-centered program, building strong relationships with fellows to allow them to reach their full potential. Pathology and endoscopy volume are two feathers in the cap of the fellowship, with strong clinical exposure and excellent procedural training. Finally, our program is privileged to provide vital, high-quality subspecialty care to serve the patients of the Inland Empire, an underserved community in Southern California.
