We are proud to introduce a new program in Medical Education for the Latino Community (PRIME-LC)

PRIME-LC provides specialized training for future physicians leading to improved health care delivery, research, and policy in Latino communities in California. This program consists of three sections, undergraduate (medical school), graduate (residency program) and Continuing Medical Education (Post-Residency). The undergraduate section is a five-year MD/MS program which responds to an increasing demand for physician-leaders who are culturally sensitive and linguistically competent to address the specific needs of Latino patients of all ages and backgrounds. For more information go to PRIME- LC or contact Jose Rea at primelc@uci.edu
