Keck School of Medicine Primary Care Program

The Keck School of Medicine Primary Care Program is a curriculum set to train primary care-focused medical students in community health settings. Students are chosen from an annual application process. They are then provided with opportunities to build longitudinal relationships with patients and primary care faculty throughout their four years of medical school. Under the supervision of faculty mentors, students become a part of a community-based care team, and learn about continuity of care, the patient-center medical home, primary care, community medicine and primary care leadership.
