Who we are: La Clínica de La Raza is a community-based health center committed to providing culturally appropriate, high-quality, and accessible health care to the diverse communities of the San Francisco Bay Area. We have spent over 40 years advocating for and creating a health home for the many that have been denied access to care. As health care activists, we are dedicated to making sure individuals who do not have health coverage get the same level of quality healthcare as those who have it.

From our genesis as a community health center in 1971, we understood that we cannot heal our communities without also addressing the economic and social factors that affect health. Many times, this requires that we go outside and provide services in other settings to build the bridge that links individuals to our health center for preventive and primary care. Over 90,000 individuals come to La Clínica because it is a welcoming place that addresses the whole person, coordinating and connecting them to a broad network of services to improve and maintain their health and well-being.

While we are still known for our activism and spirit of social justice, we are also proud to have grown into a sophisticated provider of primary health care services with 35 sites across Alameda, Contra Costa and Solano counties.

Lead to make an impactful difference: At La Clínica, delivering care to our diverse and resilient community will inspire you daily to deliver optimal health care to every patient. You will partner closely with the site manager to provide impactful leadership through the development, implementation and assessment of quality health care services for your site. Other collaborative efforts will include working with other medical directors to solve similar challenges and representing La Clínica in both internal and external forums.

La Clínica is committed to meaningful leadership; we hold monthly county-wide and site level provider education meetings which include morbidity and mortality case presentations and other specific topics of interest. We attract and retain engaged staff by supporting providers in their pursuits of a meaningful role and offering opportunities in mentorship, quality initiatives and preceptorships. As a physician leader, you will be surrounded by a collaborative and energetic care team that is invested in your success.

We offer robust perks including educational leave plus stipend, license reimbursement, H1 visa sponsorship, FTCA malpractice coverage, and flexible work schedules. In addition, we are a National Health Service Corps (NHSC) approved site for tax free loan repayment.
