The mission of the UCR School of Medicine is to improve the health of the people of California and, especially, to serve Inland Southern Califor- nia 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 expe- riences 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 phy- sicians 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 commu- nities. medschool.ucr.edu/admissions

The Thomas Haider Program at the UCR School of Medicine is a special program within the school that provides a unique pathway into medical school for UCR students, with up to 24 seats filled by students who attend UCR for at least six consecutive quarters and complete their bachelor’s degree at UCR. medschool.ucr. edu/admissions/haider_program.html

All School of Medicine applicants apply to the UCR School of Medicine through the American Medical College Application Service, at amcas. org/students/applying/amcas, following its guidelines and deadlines. Students may submit their applications at any time during the application period, as early as June (14 months before medical school classes begin in August at UCR) or as late as November 2 (9 months before classes begin). Applications without recent MCAT scores are considered incomplete. Re- view the application guidelines at medschool. ucr.edu/admissions

Pre-medical Education Although students must complete the required pre-medical coursework listed below, students are not required to be science majors to do so.
