Special Features
The UCLA family medicine residency program offers the best of both worlds: the strong training as the primary team at the Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center community hospital, and access to the resources of a world-renown academic center and fellowships, with a focus on caring for the urban underserved. Residents rotate through two continuity clinics with widely varying populations, preparing graduates for any future job they would want.
