Jeffrey Luther, MD
Program Director
I joined the full-time faculty here in 1993, after working in private practice in Oxnard and Torrance, California. Prior to that, I attended medical school at UC Irvine and completed my residency training at San Pedro Peninsula Hospital and Glendale Adventist Medical Center. I have particular clinical interest in asthma and allergy, and in (especially pediatric) orthopedics.
In addition to my regular teaching duties, I am responsible for the program's curriculum, as well as for our medical student training. I also coordinate our weekly House Calls Service, which takes me and the residents out to some of the more colorful neighborhoods of Long Beach. I am actively involved with the California Academy of Family Physicians. I currently hold the position of CAFP Immediate Past-President, serve on the Academy's Communications Committee, and was recently elected to the position of Alternate Delegate to the AAFP; in addition I serve the Academy as a Delegate to the CMA. My interest in immunization has also led to my representing the Academy as a member of the California Immunization Committee.
Outside of work, I enjoy music, sports (especially soccer), cooking and brewing beer. My wife, Nicole Reilley, is a United Methodist Minister, and we have one son, Jacob, who enjoys the life of an fifteen-year-old.
