As a struggling high school student, Marco Angulo, MD, never anticipated that he would one day become a primary care doctor committed to making a difference in his community. But not only has Angulo become an influential figure with his patients, he is now encouraging a growing number of minority students in community colleges and local universities in Orange County to follow his path into careers in medicine. That’s very good news for primary care in California. One in three physicians trained in family medicine started their higher education in community college, according to recent research.
