The Division of Family Medicine (DFM) at UCSD is a robust group of 50 faculty and fellows, 60 residents and ~75 staff. As an academic administrative unit in the Medical School, we have four essential missions:

1. we work to make the clinical practice of family medicine better
2. we train tomorrow's physicians and, more specifically, tomorrow's family docs
3. we serve our community by improving its health
4. we conduct research to improve the cost-effectiveness, reach and impact of all our work

• Family Medicine Residency For the fifth straight year, the number of medical students choosing Family Medicine was higher than the previous year (see this link for more information from the AAFP). The UCSD Family Medicine Residency had a record breaking number of applicants to the program this year and is extremely pleased with the excellent class of interns that will be joining the program.
  
  
• Combined Residency The UCSD Combined Family Medicine & Psychiatry Residency program had an incredible number of very competitive applicants to the program this year. The Residency leadership is thrilled with the two new interns that will be joining the program in July.
