The UC Irvine Family Medicine Residency Program is
located in Orange County, one of the nation’s most
attractive regions. Directly south of Los Angeles,
Orange County is a land of intense natural beauty and
spectacular scenic contrast – from the colorful marine
and beach life along the coastline of its western border
to the snow-capped mountains two hours inland. The
location, combined with its mild climate, make Orange
County an ideal home for those who love the outdoors.
Orange County also offers a vibrant economy and
excellent schools. Cultural opportunities abound, both
within the county and in Los Angeles and San Diego, both
1 to 2 hours away. A large entertainment/dining/shopping
complex opened across the street from UC Irvine Hospital in
1999, and it has provided many of our residents with
needed Krispy Kreme Kalories post-call. The Family Health Center is located in downtown
Santa Ana, which is a central point in Orange County.
The FHC’s central location, along with the fact the UC Irvine
Hospital and Western Medical Center are just a few miles
away, allows UC Irvine residents to live in a wide variety of
communities across Orange County. Santa Ana itself is a
culturally diverse city of over 300,000 people. It is
also a young community, with a mean age of 26 years old.
