About the program
AltaMed's three-year Family Medicine Residency is based in a Federally Qualified Health Center in South Gate rather than a hospital, emphasizing outpatient primary care and integrating health equity throughout the curriculum. The South Gate clinic handles over 60,000 visits a year for an ethnically diverse, largely underinsured population, with a longitudinal procedures clinic and integrated behavioral health. Hospital training involves Adventist Health White Memorial and Children's Hospital Los Angeles, residents complete two scholarly projects, and electives range from sports medicine to addiction medicine.
