HOW YOU LEARN IS IMPORTANT TO US.

Classes are small, collaborative, and highly interactive. We’ll use a case-based method so you’ll learn in the way patients present. Key coursework will be team- taught by faculty who are trained to be expert facilitators of your learning.

OTHER DEGREE OPPORTUNITIES. We’re proud to be among the institutions that make Southern California an education and research hub. We offer opportunities to earn degrees with Caltech (MD, PhD), UCLA (MD, Master of Public Health), and USC (MD, Master of Health Administration).

THE SCHOLARLY PROJECT. Required of all students, this exploration can involve a community-partnered project, health services research, quality improvement, biomedical science research, or other areas. Our researchers, clinicians, and community partners will mentor you in the area you select.

REACH (Reflection, Education, Assessment, Coaching, and Health and well-being). This course pairs you with a physician-coach to identify strengths and gaps, and help you address personal and professional goals. You’ll also explore resilience skills that you can use in medical school and through- out your entire career. In addition to REACH, academic support and mental health counseling will be available to you whenever you need them.
