UCR Medical School
The Regents of the University of California has authorized UC Riverside to proceed with the next phase of planning for a School of Medicine.

UCR has begun a national search for a founding dean for the school. It will also hire initial faculty and staff, develop curriculum that focuses on improved health care in both primary and specialty care, and seek private support.

In May 2006, UCR proposed to establish a School of Medicine that would serve the medically underserved in Inland Southern California by training a diverse workforce of physicians, with innovations in research, education, and healthcare delivery that resound throughout the state and nation. Projected to open in fall 2012, the school will be the first new public medical school west of the Mississippi since 1971.

UCR’s School of Medicine will be research-based and build upon the university’s existing strengths in the biological, agricultural, physical, socio-behavioral sciences and engineering. A particular focus will be on diseases and health issues specific to Inland Southern California, including obesity-related illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease.

From 2007 until 2012, UCR will continue to strengthen the foundation upon which the full four-year medical school will be built, including the initiation of a Clinical Medical Education Program that will build partnerships with regional hospitals to develop third- and fourth-year rotations and UCR-affiliated residency programs.

In fall 2012, the entering medical school class will increase from 24 students to 40 students; those students will receive their M.D. degree from UC Riverside in spring 2016. In subsequent years, the campus will scale up to admit classes of 48, 72, and 96 students per year.

At maturity in 2022, the UCR School of Medicine is projected to have a total enrollment of 384 medical students, 160 graduate Ph.D. students, and more than 400 UCR-affiliated residents.

Total projected operating costs for the medical school during 2007-2022 is $860 million, with contributions from state, federal, private and other non-state sources. Total capital costs for the same 15-year period – including renovations to existing research and office space, leased clinical space, initial and additional infrastructure, space for teaching and research, a medical library and information resources – roughly are estimated to be $496 million. Only a portion of the capital costs will be sought from the state. All operating and capital costs will be re-examined and detailed in the final proposal.

Both the final proposal and business plan will go through review by the UC Academic Senate, the California Postsecondary Education Commission, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education and The Regents.
