Why Ventura? Community Memorial is in the beautiful beach city of Ventura. Ventura is close enough to big cities (LA, Santa Barbara) but gives the vibe and experience of a smaller-town community. Having been in this program for several months now, the educational experience is phenomenal and I am feeling much more comfortable with my knowledge base. The attendings are great at teaching and best of all, they want to teach. The friendships made throughout the residency extend beyond just the individual program and it does not feel as if the programs are siloed from one another. Community Memorial has a strong support system and is a great foundation for those interested in Internal Medicine.
