UC Irvine, located in Orange County, with a population of more than three million, has a long and distinguished tradition of training family physicians with a focus on service to medically underserved populations. Established in 1968, the UCI Department of Family Medicine was one of the few original family medicine training programs in the US. Our post-graduate residency is based in a federally-qualified community health center where it has trained hundreds of family physicians to serve communities near and far. UCI Family Medicine faculty lead innovative programs addressing the breadth of family practice including the Program in Medical Education for the Latino Community (PRIME-LC), the Division of Geriatrics, Integrative Health, outreach to local schools, and partnerships with community-based organizations.
