The UC San Diego Internal Medicine Residency Program has a mission to train the future leaders of internal medicine and its subspecialties in a superior academic environment of diverse clinical and research opportunities.

Our training environment provides a wide range of clinical and academic experiences designed to prepare you for a multitude of different career opportunities in internal medicine. Experience is available in clinical settings ranging from community outreach clinics to academic tertiary referral centers. The large and diverse San Diego community, the proximity to the international border and the presence of a world-class tertiary referral center provides a fascinating and diverse patient population.

Our faculty includes world leaders in both clinical medicine and basic research. Under their guidance, our housestaff at all levels of training are encouraged to assume primary responsibility for patient care.

Many of the recent innovations in the residency program over the last several years have been crafted by the residents and enacted through a strong spirit of cooperation between faculty and housestaff.

Our program supports a diverse group of 100 residents. The camaraderie and high quality of our residents are the hallmarks of our residency program. Residents work closely with each other and our faculty, creating a thriving learning environment.

Graduates of our program regularly go on to accept highly competitive opportunities in clinical practice as well as in the most selective fellowship programs in the nation.
