Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending - Non-Construction - Established July 2020, the mission of the AltaMed Family Medicine Residency Program (AFMRP) is to grow family medicine physicians who will provide access to high quality healthcare to meet the needs of populations that have been historically marginalized in predominantly Latinx immigrant communities in Greater Los Angeles. AFMRP emphasizes the development of competent and responsive practice patterns in family medicine that effectively address health equity issues and social determinants of health among safety-net patient populations and communities in AltaMed’s service areas. AFMRP aims to improve the overall health and well-being of families in urban, East/Southeast Los Angeles by developing and nurturing a pipeline of healthcare providers specifically qualified to deliver care to a diverse population with its cultural, social, and medical complexities; AFMRP recruits, mentors, and trains racially and ethnically underrepresented physicians and pre-medicine students who demonstrate a mission-aligned interest and commitment to eliminating disparities in health care access and outcomes in safety-net populations. Key activities include: (1) Family Medicine Residency Program - Training family medicine physicians through a 3-year residency program, accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), in which AltaMed admits six (6) new medical residents each year, with 18 physicians in training at any given time; and (2) Pre-Medicine Mentorship Program - Structured coaching of pre-medicine students through a one-year premed mentorship and enrichment program which pairs 20 undergraduate students with AltaMed faculty and family medicine residents each year to meaningfully support and guide their journey to medical school.
