Speakers

The UCI School of Medicine proudly announces the fifth annual Diversity in Graduate Medical Education Residency Open House. As an institution, our mission is to promote inclusive excellence by recruiting and supporting a wide array of physicians who can serve a diverse patient population and enable our local community to thrive.

This virtual event will provide a comprehensive look into our Graduate Medical Education experience through direct interactions with professionals throughout our campus community. The open house is specifically designed for medical students seeking to begin residency in June/July 2024. Medical students who come from or have experience serving medically underrepresented or disadvantaged populations are especially encouraged to apply.
