Trainees will work and learn at Children’s Health of Orange County (CHOC), a pediatric hospital that is a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center. CHOC is also home to the only surgical neonatal intensive care unit on the West Coast. Our surgical subspecialties rely on the latest technologies, including minimally invasive and robotic surgeries.
