About the Area

The city of Los Angeles offers one of the world’s great urban experiences. Opportunities to enjoy pro sports, entertainment, cuisine, and the arts are virtually endless, with the variety to satisfy its incredibly diverse population. Beaches are nearby; mountains and desert are an hour away, and the weather enables year-round outdoor activities.

Working Here

The center’s Graduate Medical Education program is another hallmark, along with our established culture of collaboration and accountability.

Physician well-being is key: new hires and partners alike will find wellness events, workshops, trainings, meet-and-greets, and other opportunities to integrate, grow, and thrive—all in one of the world’s premier big cities.
