Physicians for a Healthy California is looking for qualified applicants who are committed to improving community health, growing a diverse physician workforce and promoting health equity. We are looking for a medical student who can contribute a unique perspective and share their experience as a member of PHC’s Board of Directors.
PHC Board Members offer strategic direction for new program development and evaluations, assist the CEO and staff with strategic planning and direction, oversee PHC’s nonprofit status, provide financial oversight, give feedback on the annual evaluation of the CEO to the California Medical Association’s CEO, and complete an annual self-evaluation. As a board member, you are expected to attend quarterly virtual meetings and committee meetings as well as an in-person board retreat (dates TBD). We also encourage you to join us at PHC’s Health Equity Leadership Summit being held July 10-11, 2025, in Pasadena. (Travel expenses for board events will be covered by PHC.)
