UCI Family Health Center - Santa Ana and Anaheim Locations

The UCI Family Health Centers are designated as Federally Qualified Health Centers (UCI FQHC). The UCI FQHC Board of Directors is made up of community members and patients, who in collaboration with UCI Health, deliver primary care services to the under-served communities in Orange County. This collaboration is very unique, and although there are other FQHCs in the country with academic affiliations, the UCI FQHC and UCI Health have a co-applicant agreement that is recognized by the Health Resources and Services Administration (an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). 

UCI FQHC is the oldest FQHC in Orange County. It provides care to all patients regardless of their ability to pay. The vast majority of patients served at the UCI FQHC are Medi-Cal patients and predominantly monolingual Spanish speakers. The core services delivered at these locations are primary care - Adult, Pediatric, and Women’s Health. The Departments of Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the Sue and Bill Gross School of Nursing provide these services. 

UCI FQHC serves as a training ground for both residents and medical students which gives learners a unique opportunity to manage complex medical cases while addressing the social determinants of health. In addition, the health centers offer an array of other services.

Behavioral Health is offered by Licensed Clinical Social Workers to address the social stressors affecting our patients and providing counseling for psychological and substance use disorders. Patients can also access our onsite Oral Health services that provide care for all ages and complements the medical care delivered. There are unique pharmacy services offered at the Santa Ana location. These services not only include medication dispensing but also medication reconciliation and chronic disease management visits performed by our clinical pharmacists which include faculty from the School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences. 

The UCI Health Family Health Center takes care of the whole person by providing Medical, Dental, Behavioral, and Social Health Services.  It takes a unique approach to care involving the entire care team.  The team meets regularly as a group to address the healthcare disparities and gaps of their patients.  We have a long-standing history of care innovation with group medical visits, a teaching kitchen, and integrative medicine (acupuncture and mindfulness).  The FQHC has been nationally recognized over the past three years for its excellence in care, reducing healthcare disparities, improving access to care, and addressing social disparities.  The UCI Health Family Health Centers in Santa Ana and Anaheim was recognized among the country’s top Federally Qualified Health Centers by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration’s 2022 Community Health Quality Recognition program.  The centers received three badges for excellence, including a gold recognition as a Health Center Quality Leader – an improvement over last year’s bronze badge. The Health Center Quality Leader badge reflects overall clinical quality measure performance in the top 10 percent of those eligible health centers.

Affiliated Hospitals and Clinics

Additional major teaching and research programs of the UCI School of Medicine are conducted at the Veterans Affairs Long Beach Healthcare System, Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC), Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, and Miller Children's Hospital (Long Beach). Other academic programs are conducted in affiliation with Kaiser Foundation Hospital (Anaheim, Bellflower, and Irvine), Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, and AltaMed Medical Group (Anaheim, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, and Santa Ana).

School of Medicine Alumni Relations

The UCI School of Medicine is the oldest, continually operating medical school in the Los Angeles/Orange County area. It began in 1896 as the Pacific College of Osteopathy (PSO) and some years later became the College of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons. It then evolved into the California College of Medicine in 1962 and subsequently joined the UC system in 1965. Alumni Relations provides programs and services for more than 6,000 alumni of the School as well as alumni engagement opportunities for students. From financial support of Honor’s Night awards, to mentorship and reunions, Alumni Relations seeks to provide a cornerstone from which students and alumni can benefit from their relationships to one another and in so doing, strengthen the School of Medicine. The UCI School of Medicine also has an official Alumni Chapter under the leadership of the UCI Alumni Association. This chapter and its board of alumni volunteers plan alumni programming, fundraise for events and scholarships and participate in campus traditions.

Master of Science in Medical Science (M.S.)

Megan Boysen Osborn, M.D., Associate Dean, Students: mbo@hs.uci.edu

The UCI Master of Science in Medical Science is designed to prepare the next generation of leaders in health care. Students obtain a strong foundation in anatomy and embryology, biochemistry, neuroscience, behavioral science, ethics, pathology, microbiology, and pharmacology. Students receive exposure to the health care setting and a strong foundation in interviewing and interacting with patients. The curriculum continues to meet the changing needs of medical education within the two years of instruction. Indeed, the School of Medicine faculty views curriculum development as a continual process and feels that medical education and teaching innovations must be encouraged and supported. The curriculum is designed to encourage medical students to become participants in their education process, to be active rather than passive learners, to become lifelong learners, and to use cooperative and team-learning principles.

UCI is dedicated to the nurturing of humanistic, caring physicians and health care professionals with top-notch clinical expertise and skills. The School strives for this through a curriculum that is not only anchored in the science of medicine but also provides meaningful experiences in the humanistic dimensions of medicine. In this context, the faculty endeavors to provide students with experiences in areas such as communication and empathy, ethics and professionalism, diversity awareness, and cultural sensitivity and medical humanities. The faculty also feels that the curriculum should strive to integrate basic and clinical sciences by bringing substantial clinical material into this early phase of medical education.

The School has achieved vertical integration of the curriculum with the development of a series of “Clinical Foundations” courses. The courses are longitudinal multidisciplinary experiences broadly designed to prepare students for their future careers in health care through the application of experiential and self-directed learning principles. These courses also utilize small group learning sessions to reinforce core concepts of patient-physician interactions and introductory clinical reasoning skill development.

To satisfy the requirement for the M.S. in Medical Science degree, each medical student must successfully complete the first and second-year curriculum, elective(s) to complete a service learning project (SLP) elective. The SLP ensures that students seek knowledge to better serve the needs of the community, perform a community health assessment and intervention, and identify evidence-based strategies for providing health education to members of the community. Students must also pass a comprehensive oral examination prior to conferring of the degree.

An ongoing academic monitoring program is coordinated by the Office of Student Support, which identifies students early who might be experiencing academic difficulty and provides them with resources to successfully complete their course work. Faculty advisors are assigned to students during their first and second years. A Learning Resources Program is available to provide tutorial assistance and study skills training. 

Graduates of the program will be prepared to use the foundation provided in this program towards a career health care (leadership, business, or research). For the degree, students must complete at least 142 units, consisting of the following courses:

First Year:

Clinical Foundations I
Anatomy and Embryology
Behavioral Science and Ethics 1
Histology
Immunology
Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Medical Genetics
Neuroscience
Physiology and Pathophysiology
Patient and Community Engagement I

Second Year:

Clinical Foundations II
Behavioral Science and Ethics II
Pathology
Medical Microbiology
Medical Pharmacology
Patient and Community Engagement II
Service-Learning Project Elective (12-24 units)

Students earning the M.S. will complete a service-learning project. After or during completion of the required curriculum and SLP, students may be advanced to candidacy for the M.S. degree. Once they are a candidate for the M.S. degree, they will be required to pass a comprehensive examination. The exam will consist of a comprehensive oral examination (assessing knowledge of histology, immunology, medical genetics, neuroscience, pathology, microbiology, pharmacology, behavioral science and ethics, and/or gross anatomy and embryology). Students are required to be enrolled as a full-time student during advancement to candidacy and degree conferral for the M.S. degree.

The M.D. Curriculum

The UCI medical curriculum continues to meet the changing needs of medical education within all four years of instruction. Indeed, the School of Medicine faculty views curriculum development as a continual process and feels that medical education and teaching innovations must be encouraged and supported. The curriculum is designed to encourage medical students to become participants in their education process, to be active rather than passive learners, to become lifelong learners, and to use cooperative and team-learning principles.

UCI is dedicated to the nurturing of humanistic, caring physicians with top-notch clinical expertise and skills. The School strives for this through a curriculum that is not only anchored in the science of medicine but also provides meaningful experiences in the humanistic dimensions of medicine. In this context, the faculty endeavors to provide students with experiences in areas such as communication and empathy, ethics and professionalism, diversity awareness, and cultural sensitivity and medical humanities. The faculty also feels that the curriculum should strive to integrate basic and clinical sciences by bringing substantial clinical material into the early phases of medical education.

The School has achieved vertical integration of the curriculum with the development of a series of “Clinical Foundations” courses. The courses are longitudinal multidisciplinary experiences broadly designed to prepare students for their future careers in medicine through the application of experiential and self-directed learning principles. First-and second-year students begin to prepare for their clerkships through clinical exposures featuring standardized patients and clinical shadowing experiences. These courses also utilize small group learning sessions to reinforce core concepts of patient-physician interactions and introductory clinical reasoning skill development. During the Clinical Foundations course in the third and fourth years, students explore many of the crucial issues first presented during the introductory courses. During this segment greater emphasis is placed on advanced skill acquisition and more mature professional role development.

To satisfy the requirement for the M.D. degree, each medical student must successfully complete the full curriculum. Students must also pass both Step 1 and Step 2 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) and successfully pass a Clinical Performance Examination (CPX) prior to graduation.

An ongoing academic monitoring program is coordinated by the Office of Student Support, which identifies students early who might be experiencing academic difficulty and provides them with resources to successfully complete their course work. Faculty advisors are assigned to students during their first and second years. Students have advisory sessions with M.D. faculty prior to the scheduling of their fourth-year course work. A Learning Resources Program is available to provide tutorial assistance and study skills training. 

Curricular Policies

The Curriculum and Education Policy (CEP) Committee is a committee of the Academic Senate that oversees the curriculum and governs policies pertaining to the curriculum. The CEP reviews and sets the standards of achievement for courses, clerkships, and the curriculum as a whole, and their bylaws dictate graduation requirements. The Committee on Promotions and Honors (P&H) is a standing committee of the faculty and enforces the standards of achievement and curricular policies set by the CEP Committee. P&H monitors the progress of all students throughout their educational experience.
