Riverside-San Bernardino Chapter

About 

Welcome to the Riverside-San Bernardino CAFP Chapter!

Welcome to the Riverside-San Bernardino (Riv-SB or R-SB) Chapter of the California Academy of Family Physicians! Our chapter is home to a dynamic and diverse community of family physicians, resident physicians, and medical students serving the Inland Empire—one of the largest and fastest-growing regions in California.

Who We Are
Spanning the enormous San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, we represent family physicians practicing in a wide range of settings—from academic institutions and community clinics to hospitals, FQHCs, and private practice groups. Our members reflect the incredible diversity of the populations we serve, and we are committed to advocating for our patients, educating the next generation of physicians, and strengthening primary care across our region.

As our chapter continues to grow and evolve, so do the needs of the communities we serve. We rely on the strength of our expanding network to help us anticipate and adapt to challenges and better support both our patients and fellow physicians. In keeping with the mission of the California Academy of Family Physicians, we support family physicians in three key areas:

  • Empower: We support our members at every stage of their careers—whether you’re a student, resident physician, or experienced physician—by providing leadership and advocacy opportunities to help shape the future of family medicine.
  • Educate: With over a dozen family medicine residency programs and three medical schools, our chapter has the largest educational footprint in the CAFP. We offer high-quality CME events, networking opportunities, and mentorship programs to help physicians grow and thrive.
  • Connect: Medicine is more than a profession—it’s a community. Beyond the clinical setting, we bring physicians together for social gatherings, outdoor activities, cultural experiences, and professional networking.

Join the Conversation!
We’d love to hear from you! Whether you’re looking to get involved, collaborate, or simply connect with family physicians across our region, reach out to us at rivsbcafp@familydocs.org and follow us on social media @rivsbcafp

Together, let’s continue to empower, educate, and connect to build a stronger future for family medicine in the Inland Empire.
