Complete Care Community Health Center (CCCHC)
The Residents Medical Center for Graduate Medical Education Excellence (RMGME) and Complete Care Community Health Center (CCCHC) have formed a graduate medical education consortium grounded in community-based care. Since 2007, CCCHC has served as a trusted health care provider for underserved families across Southern California, guided by a founding principle: quality care should never be limited by a patient's ability to pay. As a Federally Qualified Health Center, CCCHC has built its reputation on bilingual, bi-cultural care teams and long-term patient relationships grounded in trust.
RMGME, an ACGME-accredited Sponsoring Institution, partners with CCCHC to bring physician training directly into this community care model — pairing academic medical education with the continuity, access, and cultural competency that define CCCHC's mission.
Our Shared Purpose
This consortium extends academic medicine into the communities that need it most. CCCHC's established patient relationships and care infrastructure give RMGME residents a training environment built on trust and continuity. Residents training within the RMGME/CCCHC consortium will learn chronic disease management, longitudinal care, and whole-person wellness alongside care teams with nearly two decades of community health experience.
What This Consortium Creates
• Ambulatory continuity training — a longitudinal counterpart to inpatient hospital-based education, and a core ACGME requirement for well-rounded residency training.
• A physician workforce pipeline for underserved Los Angeles, training residents within the communities they may go on to serve.
• A model for FQHC-affiliated graduate medical education, demonstrating that academic rigor and community-first care are complementary, not competing, priorities.
• A long-term investment in health equity, extending CCCHC's mission of accessible care into the next generation of physicians.
Looking Forward
The RMGME/CCCHC Consortium reflects a shared commitment: that a healthier community is best built by training physicians within the communities that need them most.
