Why UCI?

UCI provides the unique opportunity to train in both a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and at a large academic medical center. By holding our longitudinal continuity clinics at an FQHC, we get the opportunity to serve a diverse, yet systemically under-resourced patient population and develop the skillset to do so effectively. At our academic centers, including UCI Douglas Hospital, VA Long Beach, and Children's Hospital OC, we get to train with expert clinician educators and better understand the nuances of a variety of hospital systems and the patient populations they serve.
