Adventist Health White Memorial Program

Program Identity & Fit

Adventist Health White Memorial's OB/GYN residency is a faith-based, community-focused program in Boyle Heights/East Los Angeles serving a medically underserved, culturally diverse population, with high clinical volume (300 deliveries/month, 4,600 surgeries annually) across a network including Kaiser Permanente Riverside/Moreno Valley, USC Arcadia, Dignity Health, and CARE Fertility. Residents follow continuity panels over four years and rotate through subspecialty exposure in MIGS, FPMRS, reproductive endocrinology, and MFM, while a mandatory scholarly project with conference/publication expectations signals genuine, if not central, research engagement. The program explicitly prepares residents for general practice, academic leadership, or fellowship, and emphasizes cultural humility, interdisciplinary collaboration, and resident well-being alongside a mission-driven commitment to vulnerable communities. It values residents who are mission-aligned toward underserved care, collaborative, and comfortable with high-volume, hands-on training in a safety-net environment.
