The La Maestra Family Medicine Residency Program will develop a high-quality training experience.

La Maestra graduates will be medically, culturally, and linguistically competent physicians who are also community-focused patient advocates, respecting the dignity of all patients. This will be done within a positive and supportive network of interdisciplinary professionals who share their knowledge to save lives together, ultimately advancing health care equity and improving the well-being of the individual, families, and the greater community.
(The Institute for Healthcare Improvement Quintuple Aim is a framework for optimizing healthcare system performance that includes improving the patient experience, enhancing population health, optimizing resources, increasing care team well-being, and advancing health equity.)
