The Keck School's approach to teaching remains rooted in a philosophy that has guided our institution since its founding, a philosophy centered on requiring students to explore their own values and motivation for pursuing a medical career. Our goal is to produce physicians, physician scientists, and future leaders of American medicine who represent the diversity of our society and who are capable of meeting the health care needs of the diverse population of California and the world-at-large. Read the stories of these Keck School students who reflect that diversity and philosophy.
