What is the status of planning for the UCR medical school?
The University of California Board of Regents in July 2008 approved establishment of the UCR School of Medicine, paving the way for the first public medical school to be built in California in more than 40 years. The UCR campus subsequently began the start-up phase of the medical school, which will include recruiting a founding Dean, gaining accreditation, and establishing partnerships with regional hospitals and clinics for medical student rotations and residencies.
