The Keck School of Medicine of USC is a place of dynamic activity in patient care, scientific discovery, medical and bioscience education, and community service. Our faculty, staff, students, residents, alumni, donors and friends are committed to excellence. Together we are poised to lead medicine in the 21st Century for the benefit of humankind. This is an exciting time of great transformation as we endeavor to create a truly stellar academic medical center at USC.
Located on USC’s Health Sciences Campus, just east of downtown Los Angeles, the Keck School of Medicine is home to the Doctors of USC — nationally recognized physicians practicing in a multitude of clinical specialties. They practice in private clinics on our campus and at our recently acquired private hospitals, USC University Hospital and USC Norris Cancer Hospital. They also work at at the LAC+USC Medical Center — one of the largest teaching hospitals in the United States — Children's Hospital Los Angeles and elsewhere around the greater Los Angeles area.
The Keck School of Medicine also is home to several research institutes, including the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute, the Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine at USC, the USC Cardiovascular Thoracic Institute and the USC Institute for Global Health.
Established in 1885, the Keck School is the oldest medical school in Southern California.
