Program Identity & Fit

A university-based residency built explicitly around health equity, with its primary site at the MLK Jr Outpatient Center in South Los Angeles. Care reaches marginalized populations through street medicine and mobile outreach alongside conventional clinic and inpatient rotations, and the curriculum names structural racism, systemic bias and social determinants of health as subjects of training rather than background context. Residents are trained in motivational interviewing and reflective practice to reduce implicit bias. The program conducts community-partnered participatory research and states that selection weighs a physician's character and ethical integrity alongside clinical ability.

Who it fits
An applicant committed to health equity and street or outreach medicine in an underserved urban setting.
Research intensity
Moderate; community-partnered participatory research is named as a program activity rather than an individual requirement.
Career orientation
Primary Care / Community Practice.
