We would like to warmly welcome you to the Riverside Community Hospital (RCH) emergency medicine residency program. RCH is a teaching hospital hosting medical students from UC Riverside School of Medicine, California University of Science and Medicine (CUSM), as well as other schools. RCH serves as a regional referral center for higher level of care. We are a level 1 trauma center, comprehensive thrombectomy capable stroke center, and a high-volume STEMI center. The emergency department sees over 100, 000 patients yearly with 20,000 pediatric visits.
We are located in Southern California, in close proximity to renowned beaches, mountains, lakes, national forests, and picturesque deserts. Our residents can often be found skiing, surfing, or rock climbing, sometimes all on the same day.
Our training combines state-of-the-art medical care with real-world emergency medicine practice in a highly efficient medical center. Because our residents train in a high volume, high acuity ED environment, our graduates complete the program with enormous confidence. RCH EM residents perform a very high number of procedures, and manage critical patients on a regular basis. Our residents gain robust pediatric experience through our partnership with Loma Linda University, Children's Hospital Orange County, and Riverside University Health System.
At the RCH emergency medicine residency, you will flourish in a positive work and learning environment. We are one of only four departments in the nation to receive the ACEP Wellness Center of Excellence Award in recognition of our wellness initiatives. Wellness is at the core of what we do every day. It is the foundation on which we built our residency program. Our focus is on autonomy, belonging, competence, meaningful work, and creating a positive work and learning environment. We want you to flourish not just in residency but decades into your career. We look forward to meeting you!
