School of Medicine

About the School of Medicine

Rooted in the University of California’s core missions of teaching, research and public service, California’s first new public medical school in four decades will be built in the region with one of the State’s lowest doctor-to-resident ratios, taking on the unique health challenges of a diverse and rapidly growing population.

Projected to enroll its first incoming class in fall 2012, the mission of the UCR School of Medicine is training a diverse physician workforce and developing research and health care delivery programs to improve the health of medically underserved populations.
