Rotations for medical students and continuing education opportunities
The medical education department drives the core strategy of our teaching programs and continuing education. Through our programs and services, medical students, residents, and practicing providers alike can advance their clinical skills and participate in research. Our department centralizes much of the educational and training opportunities, as well as the scholarly activity at Adventist Health White Memorial.
Undergraduate medical education
We have designed our undergraduate medical education programs for medical students interested in arranging rotations at Adventist Health White Memorial. Through these rotations, students develop their skills under supervision from our dedicated faculty.
Loma Linda University (LLU) Medical Students: For elective rotations submit your request through Liquid Office. For Sub-I rotations contact the LLU coordinator to the corresponding department.
Non-LLU Medical Students: Refer to Visiting Student Learning Opportunities (VSLO) for rotations offered and availability. Submit your rotation request through VSLO. If you have any questions, email ahwmstudentapps@ah.org or contact Patricia Sandoval at 323-881-8840.

Continuing Medical Education
At Adventist Health White Memorial, we foster a culture of life-long learning. Our Continuing Medical Education (CME) opportunities are designed for physicians and healthcare professionals to improve their abilities as practitioners. Foundational education resources include:
Lyman A. Brewer III MD Simulation Center
Our simulation facility is a realistic, safe learning environment for trainees to apply and test their cognition, skills, and attitudes. We were the first nonprofit teaching hospital in Southern California to integrate simulation technology to provide robust and realistic learning opportunities to prepare our healthcare associates for actual patient care situations. Simulation has now become a standard for clinical education, surgical training, and interdisciplinary team training. Our simulation training curriculum has grown steadily to meet a growing list of educational objectives within the medical, nursing, and all ancillary departments.
Adventist Health White Memorial's Lyman A. Brewer III MD Simulation Center, founded June 2014 and made possible by charitable gifts from our generous donors, is a virtual patient environment located on campus in the North Building.
The Simulation Center enables our clinical staff to:
- Learn, practice, and repeat procedures as often as necessary — fine-tune skills and improve clinical outcomes
- Develop and refine skills in an authentic clinical environment designed to reflect actual health care settings without compromising the safety of real patients
- Work with high fidelity mannequin-based simulation training in real-time situations
Our simulation center includes:
- SimMan3G – advanced adult wireless patient simulator
- SimMom – full-body interactive birthing patient simulator
- SimJr – state-of-the art pediatric simulator
- SimNewB – neonatal simulator with realistic newborn traits and lifelike clinical feedback
- Interactive audiovisual learning support with increasingly complex clinical scenarios
- Video conferencing equipped conference rooms
- Replica of hospital patient room
We offer simulation experiences to our healthcare professionals, community agencies, and community partners. The center is also available as a filming location. For more information on availability and use of the Simulation Center, please contact Marco Garcia at garciam08@ah.org.
Courville Abbott Memorial Library
