What does working at LAGMC/USC mean to you? As a lifelong Angelino, the opportunity to work at LA General feels like the cherry on top of a great journey in academic pediatrics. I have the privilege of serving children from across our County and supporting pediatric trainees. This is my dream job – even on the most challenging days.
