FNP Community Care Residency Program

The Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Community Care Residency Program is a full-time 12-month residency program designed in partnership with the

Chin Family Institute for Nursing (CFIN) at California State University Los Angeles (Cal State LA). This 12-month post-graduate program supports the needs of CCALAC member health centers and their patients, while simultaneously providing intensive training and on-the-job experience to new and recently graduated Family Nurse Practitioners who are committed to developing their careers as primary care providers.

Through this program, FNP Residents will work at a one CCALAC member health center and be able to increase access to quality primary care for the under-resourced and special populations that will prepare the Residents for full and autonomous expert care of complex underserved populations across all life cycles. FNP Residents will also improve their clinical skills, confidence, productivity, job satisfaction, as well as contribute to employer satisfaction and workforce retention. The residency program is a full-time, 12-month paid position, with paid time off and benefits.

Applications for the 2027-2028 program year will open on Monday, July 20 and close on Monday, August 31, 2026 at 11:59pm PST. To learn more about our program, please review our Program Overview.
