"LAC+USC has everything I was looking for in a program, including the opportunity to serve a diverse patient population in a county hospital, a strong academic program, and a group of passionate co-residents and faculty who care so deeply about our patients and our Los Angeles community. Plus, nothing can beat training in such a culturally diverse and vibrant city! I have only been training here at LAC +USC for a few short months, but I have already been constantly amazed by the kindness and gratitude that my patients have shown me. They inspire me everyday to become the best physician I can be."

Travis Martinez, MD

“At LAC+USC, we have the privilege of caring for a vast population with a wide array of medical conditions in the setting of a major safety-net hospital for Los Angeles County. Serving our population is rewarding, and our patients are incredibly appreciative of the care they received as many have faced difficulties obtaining access to healthcare. The staff, faculty, residents, and patients here at LAC+USC have all welcomed me as one of their own, and I feel as though I could not have chosen a better program. When not working hard in the hospital, I meet up with my fellow residents to explore the amazing city of Los Angeles.”

“Growing up in Los Angeles, I always knew I wanted to come back home for residency after spending four years on the East Coast. LAC+USC has been everything I could have wanted and more in a program. The culture of LAC+USC is evident through the dedication and sincerity of its residents and faculty. Residents genuinely enjoy spending time together in and out of the hospital. I am ecstatic to work with incredible individuals and develop lifelong friendships. Even during these trying times, LAC+USC is a family looking out for one another which inspires me to continue to be the best physician I can each and every day.”

I am reassured each day I come to work that this is the best place to be training in Internal Medicine. We get to care for a diverse patient population, treat a vast spectrum of diseases, and learn from experts in every subspecialty. Not to mention creating lifelong friendships and enjoying the Southern California sunshine!”

Lillian Dawit, MD

"What I love about this program is the sense of community in our residency, the strong training, and teaching we receive through the diverse clinical pathologies we see every day on the wards, and having the privilege to serve and care for all members of our community, especially those who may not have opportunities to receive consistent healthcare outside of the hospital. I love being a part of the USC family and I know I will come out of it a more confident, compassionate, and exceptional-trained physician."

Our patients welcome us as an integral part of the surrounding community. As residents, we see a broad diversity of clinical pathology and patient population which gives us fantastic hands-on learning opportunities. My co-residents all share a common passion for learning and healing, and I am inspired and humbled by their work.
