This program has taken almost a decade to come to fruition, and I am grateful to each person who worked diligently to make this program a reality. We are excited to train the next generation of primary care physicians in a community-based setting here in the San Francisco Bay Area.”
NEMS achieved the Sponsoring Institution accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in January 2022 and received ACGME accreditation for its Internal Medicine Residency Program in September 2022.
