    ACGME 4-Year Residency pilot participant. Our mission is to care for a predominately Latino immigrant community, while training residents who are committed to the underserved, in a system where service and education are not competing interests. Located thirty minutes from Boston, we offer an academically challenging and supportive environment that trains full spectrum family physicians. Our program features strong obstetrical and pediatric experiences, an innovative Spanish language program, a wide variety of areas of concentration, and international experiences are offered.
