And, all the residents seemed very supportive of each other and worked well together. I love the people here at Kaiser; everyone, including my co-interns, senior residents, attendings, nurses, is so friendly."

"Kaiser LA offers a perfect balance of a well-rounded clinical education in a friendly academic environment. The overall camaraderie, positive atmosphere and numerous opportunities for didactics and resident lectures fosters an ideal educational experience that is productive and enjoyable. The generous amount of time dedicated to resident learning and didactic sessions truly makes Kaiser LA unique and a very desirable program. I was delighted to learn that the Kaiser LA residents, faculty and house staff alike are truly as friendly as they were on my interview day."
— Stefani Kappel, MD
UC Irvine College of Medicine

"Growing up in Los Angeles as a Kaiser member, I became familiar with Kaiser’s commitment to their members and the community. Physicians at Kaiser listen to their patients and address their concerns with compassion. They are equally dedicated to explaining prevention and treatment plans with patients to facilitate the best care possible while accommodating personal preferences. It is because of their excellent patient care that I was confident that working at Kaiser Los Angeles Medical Center would be a great experience."
— Kimberly Simms, MD
USC Keck School of Medicine

"The diversity of the cases is reflective of a tertiary care center in a bustling sector of Los Angeles. I was also impressed by my 3rd-year resident who performed at the level of an attending. I especially like my 1st-year classmates who are some of the most amicable, outgoing, intelligent, and collegial people I have met."
