Letter from the Program Director
Our residency builds on a foundation of well-established Graduate Medical Education at RUHS and is designed to support and foster collaboration and integrative care in a safety net healthcare environment. More than 160,000 procedures were performed in the last year touching all modalities and specialties. Our patient population is extremely diverse and faces complex medical and socioeconomic challenges.
The Medical Center in Moreno Valley, California has 439 licensed beds. It is a Level I Trauma Center with a stroke designation. The hospital also features a research office, CECORC - Comparative Effectiveness and Clinical Outcomes Research Center, that is available to support resident scholarly activity.
Moreno Valley, is centrally located in Riverside County in Southern California and is close to beaches and mountains while offering a low cost of living. The nearby Ontario National Airport allows for convenient travel options without the size and crowds of Los Angeles International airport.
The Internal Medicine staff is committed to the patients, residents and the larger Medical Center community. We emphasize attention to detail, appropriate supervision, the careful use of resources and excellent patient care. The staff provides educational opportunities in both conference settings and on rotation.
Thank you for your time and interest in our residency program. Should you have any additional questions please free to ask.
