2. University of Southern California – LAC+USC Medical Center
Because the LAC+USC Medical Center tends to house patients suffering from severe conditions, residency programs in the USC are naturally on the intensive side. This setting is one that gives their residents a good look into extreme emergency situations, which can fully prepare them for the worst things they may encounter in their careers. Come senior year, residents are given full clinical responsibility, which will equip them to be the best physicians they can possibly be.
