Community Medicine Rotation

At Adventist Health Ukiah Valley Family Medicine Residency Program, we believe that we are physicians for the whole community, and that you cannot effectively care for a patient without understanding the wider context and the social factors impacting their health.  As such, with your community medicine rotation you will spend an entire month getting acquainted with the various community resources available to health providers, patients, and the community at large.  Through orientations and experiences with each of our community partners, you will become aware of the prevalent issues impacting the health of our community, and how you can positively affect change.  As part of this rotation, you will be given the support, time, and mentorship to design and complete a longitudinal project to positively impact our community.
