Internal Medicine Residency Training Program
About Us
Welcome to the UC San Diego Internal Medicine Residency Program! Our mission is to train compassionate healthcare leaders by providing robust clinical, educational, and research opportunities so that all residents receive the training necessary to achieve their career aspirations and to serve diverse patient populations.
We are looking for residents who are hard-working, resilient, and excellent communicators. Residents who thrive in our program are team-oriented leaders and educators who strive to uphold patient-centered care. They are also deeply committed to serving patients in need; our patients come from all walks of life, and many are facing adversity but have challenging and inspiring life stories.
We believe that training in a rigorous but supportive environment is an investment in your future as a physician, and in your future patients. Residency is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The training you receive here at UCSD will fundamentally shape the physician you will be the rest of your career, no matter where you practice or what you pursue. We can’t wait for you to begin!
