Graduate Medical Education

Each year, UCI sponsors nearly 750 residents and fellows in its 72 programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The Office of Graduate Medical Education (GME) provides institutional oversight and support for all residency and fellowship programs and trainees.

Welcome to UCI Graduate Medical Education


The mission of UCI School of Medicine is Discover. Teach. Heal. Central to this mission is the development and maintenance of high-quality graduate medical education programs which provide comprehensive training and faculty who are deeply committed to the teaching mission, preparing our graduates to become leaders in research, innovation, patient care and education. 

We are proud to be the only academic medical center and medical school in Orange County, the sixth most populous county in the nation. Located on the California coast between Los Angeles and San Diego counties, we serve a catchment area of greater than five million. UCI plays a critical role in addressing complex medical challenges and maintaining the health and wellbeing of our region.
