Welcome to the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center's Emergency Medicine Residency
Website.
The Department of Emergency Medicine at Harbor was established in 1978
and for nearly 30 years has committed itself to providing high-quality
emergency medical care to the working poor of the South Bay area of Los
Angeles.
We believe we have been successful in accomplishing that mission, in
large part, because of our commitment to developing an environment that
fosters the personal and professional development of those who choose
to join the Harbor family, whether for a few years of residency or fellowship
training or for a lifelong academic career.

Harbor-UCLA Medical Center serves as one of the major teaching
hospitals of the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and the Los
Angeles Biomedical Research Institute on the 80-acre Harbor campus is
one of the largest independent, not-for-profit biomedical research institutes
in California with over 1,000 ongoing research projects.
The residents in our program have the opportunity to:
- Work in a moderate-volume, high-acuity ED that is the second busiest
Trauma Center in Los Angeles.
- Receive excellent training, in only 3 years, for a career in clinical
emergency medicine.
- Be supervised by faculty with national reputations for excellence
in education, research and leadership in emergency medicine.
- Train side-by-side with strong residents from other disciplines in
a truly collegial environment.
- Care for a very appreciative patient population.
- Participate in teaching, research, EMS and administrative activities
in order to explore different career options. We offer fellowships in
Clinical Research, EMS and Disaster Medicine, Medical Education, Emergency
Ultrasound, Pediatric Emergency Medicine and ED Administration. Approximately
25% of the programs graduates enter academic careers. Many of our graduates
have become ED Directors, EMS Directors and leaders in emergency medicine
organizations.
- Live by the beach.
To take optimal advantage of these opportunities, applicants should:
- Possess a strong work ethic.
- Be as interested in doing good (for the poor of our community) as
they are in becoming good (as emergency physicians).
- Have an interest in pursuing lifelong careers in emergency medicine
that involve more than working shifts.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the residency
program after viewing the information on this website. Good luck in your
search for the emergency medicine residency that will best fulfill your
personal goals.
