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. somsa.ucr.edu

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. somsa.ucr.edu/haider-program

All School of Medicine applicants apply to the UCR School of Medicine through the American Medical College Application Service, at students-residents.aamc.org/applying-medical- school-amcas/applying-medical-school-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. Review the application guidelines at somsa.ucr.edu.

The Program in Medical Education (PRIME) is designed to produce physicians who are specifically trained to address the healthcare needs of the African, Black, and Caribbean (ABC) communities of Inland Southern California. UCR’s PRIME will admit six students annually, who will complete educational and clinical activities that prepare them to provide equitable care to ABC populations. The program begins with a two-week summer immersion program prior to the start of the academic school year. The School of Medicine will partner with ABC clinicians and organizations to allow students to integrate working with ABC populations throughout the course of their medical education. Students will have the option to pursue a master’s degree (e.g., MPH, MPP, MBA, etc.) in the field of their choosing, before completing their final year of medical school. https://ume.ucr.edu/prime

Pre-medical Education The School of Medicine expects candidates to be well prepared to engage curriculum in the basic sciences. Applicants are expected to cover foundational areas to demonstrate the ability to succeed in medical school. Lab course hours do NOT count toward total semester hours. Required Science Core

• Mathematics (8 semester hours) in calculus

and/or statistics

• Physics (8 semester hours), labs optional

• General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry,

Biochemistry (16 semester hours), labs optional

• Biology (8 semester hours), labs optional

Recommended Humanities Core The School of Medicine seeks to develop the whole Student with curriculum that prepares future physicians to meet the needs of underserved communities. To that end, courses that emphasize culture, ethic, public health, spiritual practices, and other aspects of diversity are recommended. The committee appreciates candidates listing their humanities or social science courses in these subject areas.

• English, Writing, Composition, Logic or

Critical Thinking (8 semester hours)

• Humanities/Social Science (8 semester hours)

• Spanish (3 semester hours)

Completion of Requirements Students must complete all premedical requirements before beginning the first year of medical study, although these requirements need not be completed at the time application for admission is filed. AP credit with a score of 4 or 5 (or International Baccalaureate score of 6 or 7) can be used to satisfy all subjects.

Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) The MCAT must be taken not later than fall of the year preceding admission to the School of Medicine. If more than one MCAT was taken, all the test grades must be included when making an application. The test must be repeated if, at the time of application, more than three years have elapsed since it was taken. Requests for test reports and all other correspondence and requests for information concerning the administration, processing, and scoring of the MCAT should be directed to the MCAT Program Office.

Additional details regarding application requirements and the admissions process can be found at somsa.ucr.edu

Academic Advising UCR undergraduates receive academic advising from professional staff and faculty of the department or program of their chosen major. Professional staff and peer mentors in the medical school’s Health Professions Advising Center are available to guide students in planning pre-health professions course work, gaining health-related experiences, completing service work and can assist with preparing to apply for admission to graduate and professional programs. hpac.ucr.edu
