Fostering Physician Excellence Through Medical Education

In partnership with Avocados — Love One Today® and the Edwards Lifesciences Foundation, the AltaMed Medical Education team and its physician champions have created a series of Grand Rounds that deliver the latest research and clinical advice on topics like nutrition and heart disease.

AltaMed's Medical Education team works behind the scenes to make continuous learning possible through a series of Grand Rounds, formal educational trainings on the latest health care research for AltaMed providers.

Culturally Relevant Nutritional Advice

With support from Avocados—Love One Today®, AltaMed physician Melissa See, M.D., and the AltaMed Medical Education team developed two Grand Rounds focused on fiber and the intersection of nutrition, sleep, and physical activity.

From medical school through residency, we got almost no education—or even up-to-date research—on lifestyle factors that have a huge impact on our patients' health.”

Breaking Barriers with the Edwards Lifesciences Foundation

Over the last several years, the Edwards Lifesciences Foundation and cardiology physician champion Cynthia Gonzalez, M.D., have worked together to bring a dedicated series of cardiology-focused Grand Rounds to AltaMed physicians.

I've witnessed our dedicated primary-care providers' thirst for knowledge. During Grand Rounds, they actively engage, share experiences, and seek insights from cardiologists to enhance patient care.”

A Healthy Future Starts with Informed Providers

AltaMed's Medical Education team continues to expand its Grand Rounds portfolio to ensure that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, receives the highest standard of care.
