Ventura County Family Medicine
is now a four-year program

Ventura County Medical Center's Family Medicine Residency Program has added a fourth year of training after being chosen as one of a select few to participate in the AIRE program by the ACGME and ABFM.

 

We are eager for the opportunity to create new space for the growing range of skills that a Family Doctor must master, compensate for the ongoing decline in actual training time, and promote resident well-being.

 

With the fourth year of training, we will be able to:

• Preserve our ability to train in full spectrum of care, producing Family Medicine physicians empowered to serve in all settings.

• Continue to recruit top-tier candidates who aspire to be personal physicians for the marginalized.

• Incorporate new program requirements that encompass the breadth of primary care without sacrificing a robust inpatient experience.

• Lead the specialty of Family Medicine in preserving our traditional breadth and quality of training, actively resisting a diminishing scope of practice.

 

Please read on below to learn more about our plans.  While they are subject to change as we grow into the transition, VCMC has been training Family Physicians for more than 50 years and is committed to carrying forward the legacy of full spectrum training that has always set our program apart.
