Not only do we have one of the nation’s largest pediatric residency programs, but we also are dedicated to producing the nation’s best-trained pediatricians in the industry. Our program, which has major affiliations with Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) and Miller Children’s and Women’s Hospital in Long Beach, is one of only a handful of programs in the nation that gives residents access to two free-standing children’s hospitals.

It also gives medical students the unique opportunity to interact with a wide range of professionals, including community physicians, basic and applied scientists and health policy administrators. This educational diversity attracts medical students seeking a wide range of pediatric careers, from primary care physicians to researchers in translational science.

We proudly offer postdoctoral training programs, including fellowships in neonatal intensive care, hematology/oncology, critical care, neurology and many others. Going forward, we hope to add opportunities for advanced degrees, including master’s programs, further extending our educational reach.
