We are a 13-13-13 program at a safety-net hospital in the San Francisco Bay area. Our program emphasizes acute and ambulatory care; family & reproductive health; and providing care in low resource settings. Family physician faculty teach through 1:1 mentorship and leadership. We value training family physicians to have broad skills and a desire to bring high quality care to all who need it, in any setting.
