Our program offers comprehensive training in all areas of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Through a longstanding partnership with Long Beach Memorial Medical Center (LBMMC) since 1980, our program offers training in both a high acuity academic regional referral center at UCI Health Medical Center as well as a high-volume community-based model in LBMMC. Further collaborations with Kaiser Permanente and Planned Parenthood augment our residents’ exposure to diverse tertiary care patient populations and faculty from various backgrounds and practice models. Diverse exposure enriches the educational experience both in training and in life.

Our educational culture promotes graduated autonomy and problem-based learning from day one. We encourage trainees to safely stretch their comfort zones and develop necessary critical thinking and surgical skills within the safety net of the training program. This culminates in individuals poised to enter independent practice with confidence in even the most complex aspects of Obstetric & Gynecologic care. Approximately half of our graduates enter general practice while the other half pursue specialty training.
