Re-enter your Medical Practice with Physicians Re-entry & Retraining.

How PRR Works

PRR consists of 15 online modules that cover a wide range of critical subject matter from cardiology to dermatology, medical records and more. Participants are able to work through the program at their own pace, giving them ample time to master each course before taking a final examination, and a one-day, in-person practicum. The estimated time to complete PRR is 180 hours. Upon completion, graduates receive 180 AMA PRA Category 1™ credits from the UC San Diego School of Medicine and Certificate of Completion from PRR. PRR also provides one-day of free shadowing for those who wish to get more experience before returning to the clinic.

The team also offers job placement assistance to those who complete the program by directing them to:

  • Federally funded community clinics
  • Collegiate and industrial clinics,
  • Emerging chain store clinics
  • Hospital group clinics
  • V.A./military clinics
