Center Curriculum
The Center curriculum is designed to encourage student learning and experience on multiple levels, including clinical skills and reasoning, physician/patient relations, community involvement (local to international) and self care.

The Residency Program in Family Practice is an affiliated program at O'Connor Family Medicine Residency Program, a full-service, community hospital serving a multiethnic inner city population. The three year residency training emphasizes ambulatory care, continuity, and behavioral science training. In the ambulatory setting, residents typically see patients of both genders and all age groups, including entire families, ideally. In addition to the office and hospital environments, experiences in outreach such as school health, sports medicine and long term care are offered. Students are also encouraged to acquire specialized skills, e.g., minor surgery, electrocardiography and colposcopy. During each year, residents are provided a one month period for intensive seminars and study in family medicine. This program meets the requirement for the American Board of Family Practice. For information, contact Dr. LeBaron or Marita Grudzen.
O'Connor Family Practice Sports Medicine Fellowship is available through a Sports Medicine training program at O'Connor Hospital.

The Primary Care Associate Program is a partnership between the School of Medicine and Foothill College. The Program trains physician assistants and family nurse practitioners who work with physicians in the delivery of primary health care to underserved populations. The 15-month program combines didactic with clinical instruction. The program emphasizes the comprehensive assessment of the patient’s physical and psychosocial needs, and the development of skills to meet those needs such as history-taking; physical examination; basic laboratory techniques; common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; counseling; and education of patients. All graduates earn a Certificate of Clinical Proficiency from the Stanford University School of Medicine in partnership with Family and Community Medicine. Graduates are eligible to take the physician assistant certifying examination given by the National Commission on the Certification of Physician Assistants.
For further information, contact the Primary Care Associate Program, 1215 Welch Road, Modular G, Stanford, California 94305-5408. Telephone: (650) 725-6959.
