The School of Medicine at the University of California, Riverside has been awarded a grant of $3 million over a two-year period from health care provider Kaiser Permanente Southern California to increase the size and reach of the school’s existing pipeline programs and thus broaden and diversify the pool of students applying to medical school.

“Imagining Your Future in Medicine,” the theme of the augmented pipeline programs, addresses student needs that are distinctive at each phase of the path toward becoming a physician — middle school, high school, community college, university and medical school. “Imagining Your Future in Medicine” aims to ultimately bring greater diversity to the Inland Southern California physician workforce.
