Rady's Children's Hospital

Rady Children’s is San Diego region’s only designated pediatric trauma center and the only area hospital dedicated solely to pediatric care. Designed specifically to help kids get and stay healthy, Rady Children's promotes healing and reduces anxiety through a unique combination of design, light, color and art. Within this environment of caring, children and their families become part of the healing process. Combined residents rotate on the in-patient service and in the emergency department where they learn valuable experience in pediatric medicine.

Bob Wilson Naval Medical Center

Located adjacent to beautiful Balboa Park, Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) is the most technologically advanced Navy medical treatment facility. Nicknamed, Balboa, the Pride of Navy Medicine, the hospital has played a vital role in the history of San Diego for more than 80 years. From the original tent dispensary established in 1917, to the high-tech, ultra modern facility of the 1990s, the mission has remained constant to provide the finest medical care in a family-centered care environment to the operational forces, their families, and to those who served their country in the past. Combined residents deliver babies, see newborns, and manage patients in the neonatal ICU while at "Navy Balboa" hospital.

Kaiser - Southern California

The Kaiser managed care system also provides an important training opportunity for the Combined Program. Residents rotate through out-patient pediatrics and a number of surgical sub-specialties through the Kaiser system. The experience not only provides important clinical training, but also a different system of practice management.
