Our unique community
MLK Community Healthcare sits in the heart of South Los Angeles and offers an unprecedented opportunity to engage with the most urgent and fascinating health issues facing California and the nation. If your interest is medicine in the context of health equity, social justice, safety-net populations, or immigrant health, South LA offers dramatic opportunities to change health and health care for the better.
Our patients are complex. They are high need. Caring for them will sharpen and increase your clinical skills in ways you didn’t think possible. It will also expand your heart.
