Beginning your PGY-3 year, you will be based at the Long Beach VA performing outpatient PM&R consults, follow-ups and EMGs.

The program is located in beautiful Southern California, just minutes away from world class beaches, shopping, dining, and entertainment. For those of you with families, Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm and Sea World are no more than 1 hour away. If you want to learn how to surf, theres no better place than Surf City USA, AKA Huntington Beach. For you high rollers with money to burn, Las Vegas is a mere 30 minutes by plane. If youre from the east coast or up north and feel like youre going to miss the snow, dont worry, Big Bear Lake Resort is just 3 hours away by car. And for those of you, like myself, who love to eat, the diversity of southern California will allow you to enjoy every ethnic food imaginable.
There is always something new and exciting to do in Southern California and the great thing about our specialty is that we WILL have time to have fun. So, if you want to work hard, but you also want to play hard, then UC Irvine PMR is the program for you.
If interested in applying to the program, please contact Shane Wen, our residency coordinator at (714) 456-6444 or [email protected]. She, yes SHE, will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
