The mission of the UCR School of Medicine is to improve the health of the people of California and, especially, to serve Inland Southern California by training a diverse workforce of physicians and by developing innovative research and health care delivery programs that will improve the health of the medically underserved in the region and become models to be emulated throughout the state and nation.

With its opening in 2013, the UCR School of Medicine became the first new public medical school in California in more than four decades. It is expressly designed to meet the physician workforce needs in Inland Southern California and to improve the health of people living in the region. The school’s community-based model provides medical students with clinical experiences in a variety of healthcare settings with diverse patient populations.

The UCR School of Medicine seeks students with diverse intellectual and life experiences. The school values broad academic backgrounds that include humanities, foreign language, social sciences and the arts to help prepare future physicians for interacting with increasingly diverse patient populations, health care professionals and colleagues. Each applicant’s complete portfolio will be reviewed carefully in order to select students who are not only academically qualified but who have the breadth of volunteer/community and personal experiences to ensure that they will become physicians well prepared to care for the diverse population in our communities. medschool.ucr. edu/admissions
