May 25, 2008 . Join us for the Annual Stanford PA Alumni Reception to see old friends and meet new students at the AAPA Conference in San Antonio, Texas.
Welcome to the Stanford University School of Medicine-Foothill College Primary Care Associate Program’s web site. Our Program’s mission is:
- To educate PAs for clinical practice in primary care and medically underserved communities in California
- To increase the enrollment and deployment of under-represented minorities
- To respond to the needs of our communities and stakeholders, including Stanford Medical Center
The Program began in 1971 as one of the first PA programs in California and has been recognized nationally and in California for successful outcomes with this mission. We welcome students from all locations and also have a special focus for recruitment and training in California’s counties of Kern,
Imperial, San Diego, Monterey and San Benito. Students enter the Program with considerable academic and clinical backgrounds and, through a 16-month curriculum, build on their prior clinical knowledge and skills in primary care settings. Our multidisciplinary faculty includes outstanding teachers and clinicians most of whom have served the Program for many years. Repeatedly, Program graduates report that they are prepared well for the diverse roles they assume in their communities.
We have made the difficult decision to discontinue our family nurse practitioner (FNP) option, effective with the class entering in fall 2008. Please see the following link for the background and rationale for this decision: 
Discontinuation of FNP Option
We are proud of our graduates, students and faculty who continue to set high standards through their achievements, and of our recent award of five years on continuing accreditation.
