CONTINUITY PRACTICE

The Academic Family Medicine Center (AFMC) is the continuity clinic for the Ventura County Medical Center Family Medicine Residency Program. It serves as the home base for our 45 resident physicians and the dedicated family medicine faculty who guide their training. AFMC is an integral part of the Ventura County Health Care Agency's Ambulatory Care network, offering a comprehensive range of services to the community.

​

At AFMC, our residents and faculty deliver compassionate, high-quality, evidence-based care. We manage chronic conditions, address acute medical needs, focus on preventive health, and provide comprehensive prenatal care. Our physicians often build lifelong connections with their patients, following them through pregnancy, delivering their babies, and continuing to care for both mother and child well beyond the postpartum period.

​

Located conveniently next to the main campus of Ventura County Medical Center, AFMC also offers same-day access through our on-site Urgent Care, staffed by our residents and faculty. We accept all major insurances, including Medicare, Medi-Cal, Gold Coast Health Plan, VCHCP, and provide a self-pay discount program.

​

We proudly welcome all patients, regardless of their ability to pay. Our commitment to serving marginalized communities is at the heart of our work. Over half of our patients identify as Hispanic or Latino, and about two-thirds are covered by publicly funded insurance plans.
