What is CPT?
Communities & Physicians Together (CPT) is a uniqe partnership between three UC Davis Residency Programs - Family Medicine, Internal Medicine and Pediatrics - and seven grassroots, community based organizations, that draws upon the assets of communities and physicians-in-training to improve child health and support families in raising healthy children. Employing the principles of asset-based community development, CPT teaches pediatric residents how to identify community assets and resources, build partnerships with community collaboratives, and leverage these partnerships to enhance the capacity to improve child health in each community.
