Clinical Sites
While the county hospital is home for our program, we offer the breadth of clinical training across three major medical systems. It’s an advantage for our graduates to be prepared to work in any health care system.

Olive View-UCLA Medical Center
Our program home is Olive View-UCLA Medical Center, a county hospital located at the north end of the San Fernando Valley. It is about 30 minutes away from UCLA and 35 minutes from Downtown Los Angeles. The San Gabriel Mountains provide a beautiful backdrop to our campus.
Olive View-UCLA Medical Center serves the needs of low income and indigent patients as well as the surrounding middle class community. It is also a referral center for northern Los Angeles County, capturing patients from the San Fernando, Santa Clarita, and Antelope Valleys. The population and pathology we see are diverse, providing for a rich learning environment. This is ideal for anyone seeking a solid experience in general medicine, a career helping underserved patients, or experience working in a resource-limited setting.
