Outstanding patient care, education, research, and community engagement

The UCLA IMG Program

IMG Class of 2022

Congratulations to the UCLA IMG Class of 2022!

Match Day results were announced for 2022, and the UCLA International Medical Graduate Program has added to its success story by placing six international medical graduates (IMGs) into Family Medicine residency programs serving largely Spanish-speaking, medically-underserved communities across California. Since its first graduating class in 2007, the IMG Program has successfully placed 165 IMGs into family medicine residency programs, helping to alleviate the nation-wide shortage of bilingual, bicultural primary care providers, especially in communities facing acute shortages of primary care physicians.

In the Community

UCLA Health Homeless Healthcare Collaborative

UCLA Family Medicine faculty deliver quality primary- and urgent-care services to homeless shelters.

As a critical component of UCLA's Homeless Healthcare Collaborative, the Department of Family Medicine's faculty have been deploying in mobile clinics to expand access to efficient, equitable, and high-quality healthcare for people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles. Most recently in January, our teams visited Hope of the Valley Tiny Homes Village in Arroyo Seco.
