The Pomona Valley Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program is committed to developing compassionate physicians with strong clinical and communication skills to care for our community.
The Family Medicine Residency Program (FMRP) is committed to creating a healthy community in the Pomona Valley region. In realizing this commitment, the residency trains physicians to develop outstanding clinical skills, compassion, and excellent communication and leadership abilities which will rival those of any physician in the nation. Residents function in a team environment that emphasizes creativity, innovation, integrity and the care of patients and families throughout their lifecycles. To accomplish this, the residency promotes and integrates resource utilization, quality improvement measures and clinical effectiveness into the curriculum.
Recognizing the cultural richness and ethnic diversity of our community, the program selects residents and faculty who share a common sense of values and commitment to practice in this type of environment.
