The Division of Family Medicine (DFM or the Division), in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, encompasses the department’s clinical operations and residency program. The Division’s primary mission is to provide access to the highest quality of patient-centered health care, with a primary focus on reducing health disparities in our communities by improving the health of disadvantaged populations. Our partnerships with our local community, payors, and other stakeholders (including specialists, risk managers, and health information system managers) are crucial to address the unique educational, financial and psychosocial needs of our patient population. Therefore, the Division also partners in interdisciplinary initiatives within the department and across Penn Medicine to advance Penn Medicine’s mission in patient care, education, research, and community health through efficient cutting-edge family medicine practice, which underscores the Division’s interconnectedness with the mission of the Department’s Division of Community Health.

As engines of knowledge and new ideas, universities have the unique potential to define the future rather than be defined by it; to pioneer change rather than merely manage it.

Penn’s fundamental priorities — increasing access, integrating knowledge and engaging locally, nationally and globally — are supported by the three core values that make us uniquely Penn: inclusion, innovation, and impact.
