Scripps Mercy Hospital Program
About This Program
Our hospital is privileged to serve the most vulnerable patient population in the San Diego area. Despite the challenging environment, our residents learn to provide high-quality care to a culturally and socioeconomically diverse patient population in a cost-effective manner. We boast nearly a 100% ABIM exam pass rate over the last 25 years. The most unique aspect of our program is the 25-year history of POCUS education and its full integration into daily medical practice.
