Hospitalist Division
About the Division
The OB-GYN Hospitalist Division at UC Irvine School of Medicine is focused on creating exceptional patient experiences and improving quality and safety in the hospital environment while training the next generation of physicians to do the same. UC Irvine Health Department of OB-GYN was one of the first in the country to introduce an OB-GYN Hospitalist Fellowship Program.
