Find the application route

Need a place sooner?
Programs also fill places outside the regular cycle, when a trainee leaves or a new position is funded. Those are listed on ResidencySpot as vacancies, and a saved search tells you the day one is posted.
Where training happens
The program is listed in Palm Springs, California. Some programs rotate trainees across several hospitals, so confirm the main training site and any required moves.
