Internal Medicine Inland Empire

A Word from our Program Director:

Welcome to the Kaiser Permanente Inland Empire Internal Medicine Residency! Our program has nurtured a strong culture of “Clinical Excellence with Professionalism” in an integrated healthcare model. Featuring rotational experiences at our Kaiser Permanente Fontana, Riverside, and Ontario Medical Centers, our residents gain a broad base of training drawing upon the excellence of faculty and patient care experiences at all training sites.

We resonate with the following goals for our residents:

1) Train physicians that are compassionate, considerate, and professional.
2) To become our future colleagues that we would highly value in our group or in other similar groups.
3) Training physician leaders that practice high quality, evidence based, high value care.
4) Foster habits of life-long learning and it’s inherent benefits.
5) 100% board pass rate.

Our residents often comment about the family-like atmosphere that exists within these important training centers in the Inland Empire. We invite you to join a group that is intentional and passionate about their study of Internal Medicine and find meaning and enjoyment in pursuing their career goals. We are proud that our residency program has been the starting point of many important careers, both within and outside of the Kaiser Permanente organization.

We strive to see residents and faculty empowered to be their best in this diverse, fast-growing area of the Southern California area. We look forward to connecting with you soon!
