A Culture of Excellence and Collaboration

Our department is built on a foundation of teamwork, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to success. Faculty members support one another through challenges and celebrate achievements together. This collegial environment has led many to remain in the department for decades, building strong professional and personal connections. Many of our faculty began their journey here as residents and chose to stay because of our welcoming and inclusive culture.

We are recognized for excellence, ranked in the Top 50 Hospitals for Gynecology by U.S. News & World Report and honored as a "Top Maternity Hospital." We have also been awarded a Leapfrog Safety Grade A for 12 consecutive years and are proud recipients of the California Maternal Quality Collaborative (CMQCC) Honor Roll for exceptional maternal care.

Making a Difference in the Community

Serving as the referral center for the Inland Empire, we provide comprehensive care for women experiencing the most complex obstetric and gynecologic challenges. With over 4,000 babies delivered each year, our faculty collaborate closely with Loma Linda's specialists in the region's largest NICU, integrating pediatric surgery, cardiology, and other specialties to deliver multidisciplinary care tailored to each family's needs.

Through our partnership with SAC Health, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), we provide vital OBGYN care to underserved individuals and families. This partnership demonstrates our commitment to addressing health disparities and delivering compassionate care to the most vulnerable in our community.

Work-Life Balance and Professional Growth

Our department recognizes the importance of flexibility to maintain balance and well-being. Faculty can opt for reduced work schedules with proportional salary adjustments or pursue additional productivity to enhance their compensation. We maintain a manageable call structure with capped 24-hour shifts and post-call recovery days. A planned laborist program will further reduce call burdens, providing greater flexibility and support for faculty.

We emphasize excellence in teaching and innovation in clinical practice. Our expertise in surgical and clinical education underpins an exceptional residency training program. Faculty collaborate with residents on research projects during their training, contributing to advancements that directly improve patient care. Additionally, engaging in scholarly activity with our subspecialty divisions provides a diverse academic environment. To empower faculty to succeed, we offer a $7,000 annual CME stipend, two weeks of CME leave each year, and mentorship from senior faculty to advance clinical and surgical skills.
