Become the champion patients and communities need.

This is a new medical school for students whose scientific curiosity is matched by a strong sense of mission—who believe that a doctor’s role goes beyond diagnosis and treatment. You’ll think broadly about the many ways care can be more effective for everyone and learn how to advocate for better health in homes, schools, workplaces, neighborhoods, and society at large. Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine is the nation’s largest integrated healthcare system and one of the highest-performing healthcare systems in the world, with a global reputation for addressing the big challenges in healthcare.

CONTINUING A LEGACY OF EQUITABLE CARE. Our school is named for Bernard J. Tyson (1959–2019), who served as CEO of Kaiser Permanente, capping a 30-year career in the organization. A healthcare visionary, Bernard reveled in our school’s creation. He championed the importance of addressing the community factors that influence health and believed deeply in a physician’s role in advocating for their patient’s health in all settings.
