Welcome to our Medical Education website!
Greetings!
As the Vice Dean for Medical Education, I am delighted to share with you some noteworthy information regarding our medical school.
The Office of Medical Education provides leadership and oversight for Undergraduate Medical Education, Graduate Medical Education and Continuing Medical Education. We proudly train more than 400 students and 650 residents each year.
The mission of the UC Irvine School of Medicine is to “Discover. Teach. Heal.” Our training programs embrace this mission.
Discover: We believe in providing a supportive environment for student-driven scholarly activities and research. UC Irvine is a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-designated Clinical Translational Sciences Center and manages a high level of federally funded research grants. Our university offers students the opportunity to engage in a broad range of investigative projects, from basic science to clinical translational and community-based research activities. With ready access to supportive research mentors, many of our students present and publish scholarly work during their training.

Our state of the art medical education building offers students access to our highly equipped simulation center, clinical skills center, and ultrasound center. Students interface daily with dedicated faculty who enjoy teaching the next generation of physicians. There is strong sense of camaraderie among the students, residents and faculty. This student-friendly culture enhances the educational milieu for our trainees.
Heal: We believe in graduating compassionate physicians who will provide high quality, comprehensive care to their patients. UC Irvine has the only medical school in Orange County. This unique position offers our students and residents substantial access to a wide range of training opportunities. In addition to UC Irvine Medical Center, our institution is affiliated with the VA Long Beach Healthcare System, Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, Miller Children’s Hospital and CHOC Children’s Hospital. Through these varied training sites, our students gain exposure to a diverse patient population and wide range of clinical pathology.
In short, UC Irvine offers incredible access to academic and clinical resources in an environment that is collegial and supportive. We welcome aspiring physicians to visit our school to see for themselves how their medical training can be exciting, enjoyable and rewarding.
