Overview of the Program:
Lifelong Medical Care (Lifelong) is a Section 330 Federally Qualified Health Center that has been providing community-based primary care services in California's San Francisco Bay Area since 1976. In 2020, Lifelong provided integrated medical, behavioral health, and oral health services in low-income communities to over 52,000 patients in 307,000 visits.
With a growing emphasis on medical education to train the primary care workforce in underserved areas, Lifelong developed a Family Medicine Residency Program that was approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) on June 6, 2019. Lifelong is the accredited sponsoring institution, with ACGME approval for a 6-6-6 program with 18 residents total.
As a HRSA THCGME program, the Lifelong Family Medicine Residency Program (FMRP) began training its first class of six residents in the academic year 2020-2021 and began training the second class in July 2021. With 12 current residents and 18 positions approved by ACGME, a HRSA THCGME expansion award of $3,840,000 over four years is requested for 6 FTE positions per year, with a total of 24 FTE over the four-year funding period beginning in the academic year 2022-2023.
Lifelong's main FMRP training location is the Lifelong William Jenkins Health Center in Richmond, California, a medically underserved area of West Contra Costa County. In this culturally diverse community, residents are primarily Hispanic (42%), African American (20%), and Asian (15%), and 54% speak a language other than English at home. The vast majority (95%) of the population served are low income; 75% have medical (California's Medicaid program), 4% are dually eligible for both Medicare and Medical, and 11% are uninsured. This population experiences a disproportionately high burden of disease.
Lifelong's 3-year Family Medicine Residency Program will educate and train a thriving workforce of 18 highly qualified and diverse family medicine physicians each year who are inspired to comprehensively address the healthcare needs of underserved communities. Residents will provide community-based health care to patients with an emphasis on clinical quality, health equity, social determinants of health, and cultural humility. The aim is to develop family physicians to be drivers of healthcare change and leaders in their work and community.
