The Primary Care Research Center (PCRC) was formed in 1994 under the
direction of Dr. Andrew Bindman and Dr. Kevin Grumbach. The PCRC is
composed of a multi-disciplinary group of research from the Division of
General Internal Medicine and the Department of Family and Community
Medicine at UCSF. The PCRC research focus includes:
- Access to primary care
- The health care safety net
- Organization and financing of primary care
- The effectiveness of primary care in improving health care access and quality
- Chronic care management in primary care
- Communication challenges in primary care
- Identification and management of high risk populations in primary care
- International models of primary care
- The impact of health policies on access to and quality of primary care
Training opportunities to engage with UCSF faculty conducting this research are available through the UCSF Division of General Internal Medicine's Research Fellowship.
