Welcome to the Riverside County Regional Medical Center General Surgery Residency Program.  Our People, Our Patients, Our Future.  The Medical Center’s motto, the future, is now and we are creating it with the introduction of our new ACGME accredited General Surgery Residency Program and academic partnership with the new School of Medicine at the University of California Riverside. Watch the video message from the Dean of the School of Medicine, G. Richard Olds, M.D.

With education as our primary focus, the General Surgery Residency emphasizes a combination of strong clinical experiences augmented by weekly teaching conferences, weekly basic sciences conferences, monthly journal clubs and weekly departmental grand rounds. To make your surgical education a rewarding and challenging experience we are partnering with state-of-the-art hospitals, progressive clinics and dedicated and knowledgeable physicians.  

These include:

Our program, which is accredited for 4 residents at each level with an additional 2 preliminary residents in the PGY 1 – 2 years, seeks to prepare residents to become surgeons of the highest caliber. We strive to accomplish this by providing each resident with a rich educational experience in a variety of clinical settings. The three main program components - curriculum, research, and service - are structured to enable the resident to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and clinical judgment needed for the practice of general surgery. Residents can benefit greatly from the wealth of teaching expertise and clinical experience afforded by their residency training at RCRMC.

The RCRMC General Surgery Residency Program has an environment with a strong commitment to the underserved population of Riverside County.  Making a positive impact on a large multi-cultural population gives our residents rewarding experiences that will follow them for a lifetime.

We want you to enjoy your visit to the General Surgery Residency Training Program website. We hope it inspires you to want to learn more about our program offerings, our institution, and what gives General Surgery Residency Education at RCRMC its sense of purpose and mission.

Sincerely,
