Career Pathways

Career Planning

The faculty of the UCSD Department of Medicine is comprised of talented clinicians, nationally recognized scientists, and skillful teachers who are easily accessible to residents seeking guidance in career planning. We take great pride in our graduating residents and are strongly committed to launching them into highly successful internal medicine careers and offer annual career planning seminars to equip residents with the tools they need to obtain the jobs or fellowships they seek.

Graduate Career Paths (2004-2008)

Graduates of the UCSD Internal Medicine Training Program are highly trained internists with skills and capabilities well suited to a variety of career paths. Approximately 50% of the graduating housestaff seek subspecialty training. The majority of our residents obtain their top choices for fellowship training both at UCSD and at prestigious programs around the country. Many of our graduates choose to remain in Southern California and have matched very well despite the competitiveness of academic fellowship programs in this area. For those graduates wishing to remain in general internal medicine practice, the growing San Diego community offers many excellent practice opportunities. The career paths of our graduates over the past 3 years are summarized below.
