Many of the earliest residencies were in existence before essentials for Family Medicine residencies were developed. However, some of those residencies were not listed as accredited until several years later. What can be documented are the first fifteen residencies approved by the Residency Review Committee in December 1968 under the new “Essentials for Approved Residencies in Family Practice.” They are as follows*: School Program Program Director or Person in Charge University of California-Irvine Family Medicine Robert Combs, MD College of Medicine Los Angeles, California General Hospital Ventura County Family Practice J.A.
