With 36 residents, 3 fellows, and a large medical school, we offer unmatched opportunities to engage in cutting-edge academic medicine. Our 30 faculty members actively mentor and train the next generation of healthcare leaders, fostering a legacy of excellence in patient care and education.

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, we provide vital OBGYN care to underserved individuals and families, demonstrating our commitment to addressing health disparities and delivering compassionate care to the most vulnerable in our community.

Why Join Us

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 recognize 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 also 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.

In addition to regular faculty development lectures, 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. Our department emphasizes excellence in teaching and innovation in clinical practice, with faculty collaborating with residents on research projects during their training.
