Our division is proud to serve as the primary teaching facility for all UCSD medical students and for medical residents training in pediatrics, medicine-pediatrics, and family practice. We train medical residents from UCSD and 5 other local programs. We are one of the first academic institutions to create a Pediatric Hospital Medicine fellowship program and have been integrally involved in the growth of the field of PHM. We are highly active in quality improvement and clinical research in various areas including human factors related to quality improvement, obesity, sepsis, patient safety, clinical pathways, complex care, and patient experience, among others.
