What our residents are saying
"If I had to use one word to describe our IM program at Loma Linda it would be 'supportive'. Here, I have found an environment created for me to learn and grow without fear of judgement or retribution. If I have a question or concern there isn't just one person willing to help, there are many! Between the VA, LLUMC, and RUHS we get to learn from an incredibly diverse and amazing group of patients as well as experience different perspectives of practice. There is truly no place I'd rather be!"

What our residents are saying
"From day one, I have felt at home at Loma Linda. The program leadership has done a tremendous job of cultivating a supportive and inspiring environment while also building and maintaining personal relationships with each one of us. I've found everything I was looking for at Loma Linda: a nurturing and stimulating environment to grow as a clinician, inspiring faculty mentors, and a family of co-residents who care deeply about each other."

What our residents are saying
“The internal medicine program at Loma Linda allows for opportunities that cater towards our own individual goals, allowing exposure to different populations and hospital systems. I am also lucky to work alongside amazing co-residents who I get to go through this journey with, while forming lifelong friendships; supportive faculty and staff who provide mentorship; and a safe learning environment for me to grow both personally and professionally.”
