Residency Programs

Family Medicine

Hands-on, diverse patient care experiences

Our mission is to provide evidence-based, broad-spectrum medical training to develop highly competent family medicine physicians who can adapt to the perpetual evolution of medicine while maintaining empathy and humanism as the foundation of care.

About our Graduate Medical Education (GME) Program

Located in the multi-ethnic, urban community of Glendale, California, we take pride in providing care for the special needs of our medically underserved community and being the medical home for many of Glendale's vulnerable residents. 

Since our inception in 1973, we have graduated hundreds of family physicians who represent a vital presence in the Glendale medical community, as well as the greater Los Angeles area.

Why choose our Family Medicine Residency?

We are a community-based program with a dynamic faculty, a broad universe of patients, and a thorough grounding in medical procedures and technology. We offer a rich opportunity for the physician-in-training seeking a comprehensive, well-rounded experience in family medicine.
