When I look at the match lists from various schools, I see that some people match into UCLA Medical Center while other match into Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. When I look for information on UCLA Medical Center I only get results for Harbor-UCLA. Thus, I am wondering if UCLA Medical Center really offers residency training. Can anyone clarify this?

Yes. I couldn't find a list, but here are a few examples:

Yes, considering that I know someone completing his first year there. Where you are assigned depends on the specialty and the year of training you are doing.

ok, so maybe i'm an idiot, but quick question...on ERAS you can apply to the 3 different UCLA programs (Harbor, SFV, University)...is one program better than the other? or are they all "UCLA", but just depends where you are? I've been offered an interview at Harbor and SFV Olive, what's really the big difference there? They're both still official UCLA sites, right?

UCLA (University) is the program in Westwood. It is the most academic of the three and a private hospital (except ER, by which Harbor is far above UCLA). Residents tend to stay at UCLA most of the time, and depending on which residency, some rotate through olive view, VA and harbor.

Harbor is a county facility in Long Beach area. It is mostly clinical.

SFV Olive view is also a county facility. It is north of UCLA, kind of far away from any cities. It is mostly clinical.

UCLA Medical Center is the private university hospital on the campus of UCLA and is the flagship hospital of UCLA health care system. There are training programs there but may be sponsored by the School of Medicine.

Harbor-UCLA is about a half hour south of UCLA. It's a county hospital facility.
