About One World

Mission

Patient Population

Residency Training

On average, OneWorld serves approximately 50,000 unique patients per year. Fifty percent of our patients lack health insurance. The vast majority of our patients speak a language other than English as their primary language which the largest proportion (70%) speaking Spanish. We additionally serve large refugee populations from Burma and Bhutan. We provide cradle-to-grave care for a broad cross-section of patients as well as serve a large OB population.

Our patients are a constant source of challenging clinical problems which are often not frequently seen in other settings (neurocystercisos, tuberculosis, etc.) as well as with advanced disease pathology often due to a lack of health care access due to historical and systemic barriers.

We provide training in substance use disorder treatment and gender affirming care. We follow a collaborative care model with psychiatry to offer joint care for patients with severe mental illness through the Advancing Integrated Mental Services program. Residents have the opportunity to work and learn directly from the psychiatrist and psychiatry residents through this integrative program.

Our care team is further enhanced with readily available access to onsite social workers, behavioral health therapist, diabetes educators, dietitians, and clinical pharmacists. We have a robust patient support team that helps patients navigate the health system if they are in need of referrals or studies not available within our clinic.
