Lucia Martinez, MD, is the Regional Program Director for the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Community Medicine Fellowships. In addition to overseeing the community medicine fellows, she teaches medical students and residents completing their community medicine and family medicine rotations at the KP San Jose Family Medicine Residency Program and surrounding community clinics where they provide care to underserved and marginalized communities of San Jose. As core faculty for the Kaiser Permanente San Jose Family Medicine Residency, her work includes IDEA Curricular Director, Advisor, La Salud Family Medicine lead, and Practica Conmigo Profesora.

Dr. Martinez received her undergraduate degree from Stanford University in Human Biology, minoring in Comparative Literature. She received her medical degree from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA/Charles R. Drew Medical Education Program. She fell in love with Family Medicine and as a result, completed residency at the Kaiser Permanente San Jose Family Medicine Residency as part of their inaugural class. She completed a Community Medicine fellowship as the first fellow in the Kaiser Permanente San Jose Community Medicine and Vulnerable Populations program.

In addition to providing care, she is passionate about community outreach and advocacy, mentorship, graduate medical education, and evidence-based medicine.

Dr. Rajan is an Internal Medicine/Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Physician who has been practicing at Kaiser Santa Clara for over 15 years.  He currently serves as the Program Director for the Internal Medicine Residency.  Dr. Rajan has appointments at both the Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine and the Stanford University School of Medicine.   Dr. Rajan is a former resident and chief resident at Kaiser Santa Clara.

Dr. Rae Oser is the Senior Director of Physician Education and Development (PED) at TPMG, where she leads the leadership development team and oversees the department. PED supports physicians throughout their careers, offering programs in clinical medical education, professional growth, leadership development, clinician-patient communication, health and wellness, and recognition events—truly a central part of fostering physician success.

Rae earned her PhD in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology and completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan. She joined TPMG as a postdoctoral fellow in 1997, initially working as a behavioral medicine specialist in the Diablo Service Area. She later became a Communication Consultant, which introduced her to the breadth of PED’s offerings and inspired her to join the department in 2001. Since then, she has had the privilege of working with countless physicians and leaders across the organization.

Outside of work, Rae enjoys traveling—Italy and Switzerland were on her itinerary this May—watching football, and exploring the outdoors. Though her family remains in Michigan, where she grew up, she often times visits to enjoy the best weather possible. She is also the proud parent of two wonderful daughters, who continue to be a source of joy and inspiration in her life.

Tracy Lieu is a pediatrician who serves as the regional Physician Advisor for Medical Education Research for Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC). She develops ways to support attending physicians and trainees in research and scholarly projects, working closely with the Biostatistical Consulting Unit in the KPNC Division of Research (DOR). The DOR is a department of more than 700 people who do public-domain research that is largely supported by federal and other external sponsors. DOR faculty also support and collaborate in research by our residents and fellows.

Tracy has trained and worked at the University of California campuses at San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Berkeley, as well as at Penn and Harvard. She is a DOR research scientist and a deputy editor for JAMA. She’s happy to be here at Kaiser Permanente because it’s a great environment for research and she believes in our mission as an integrated care system. She practices clinical pediatrics in Oakland and studies how virtual care modalities including telemedicine can be designed to enhance quality and access to care.

Dr. Juleon Rabbani is Director of the Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) Biostatistical Consulting Unit (BSCU) and a Research Scientist in Biostatistics within the Division of Research. He leads a team of biostatisticians, analysts, and program staff dedicated to helping clinicians at every stage of training and practice turn research questions into published, peer-reviewed scholarship.

The BSCU partners with KPNC Graduate Medical Education, The Permanente Medical Group, the Community Health Research Grant Program, the Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine, and the KP Scholars Academy to provide full-spectrum research support — from study design and data analysis to regulatory oversight and publication preparation. The unit currently supports more than 400 active clinical research projects and contributes to over 150 peer-reviewed publications and presentations each year across primary care, surgical specialties, medical subspecialties, women’s health, behavioral health, pediatrics, and emergency medicine.

Dr. Rabbani completed his public health training (DrPH in Epidemiology) at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD, and previously directed research activities for multiple physician training programs at Kaiser Permanente Vallejo Medical Center.
