Pacific Hospital of Long Beach - Internal Medicine Residents
Number One in the Nation!

Congratulations Internal Medicine Residents On Your National In-service Examination!

PHLB is a teaching hospital and excels in operating the oldest osteopathic postgraduate training program in California. The program is approved for 26 interns and residents, and we have consistently graduated prominent physicians.

Offered internships are in family medicine, internal medicine and transitional medicine. Residencies offered are family practices, internal medicine and dermatology. The program offers rotations for 3rd and 4th year medical students that include all of the hospital services provided.

Each year there are a total of 100 residency programs that take the National In-Service Training Examination; the test is 4 hours long and consists of 200 questions.

In recent years, we have done exceptionally well. However, it is a great pleasure to announce that our Internal Medicine Residency Ranks # 1 on the National In-service exam. In addition, we had five of our seven residents score in the 95th percentile or higher.

We are very proud of our Residents:
