Riverside University Health System Program
About This Program
The RUHS program is resident focused. There is integrated research/study time built into each rotation. A week of additional elective time occurs each quarter to ensure residents can focus on the subjects that matter most to them at every step of training. A dedicated resident reading room with a personal workstation and office is within the department so each resident can customize their space to meet their needs.
