Medical students at White Coat Ceremony

The Keck School may achieve recognition for its research breakthroughs and advances in patient care, but it is measured, first and foremost, by the excellence of its graduates. The school has moved to the forefront of education by introducing a new curriculum and is committed to ensuring that students receive the financial assistance they need to pursue academic excellence. Scholarship support is crucial to allowing all students to achieve their dreams, regardless of economic circumstances. Additionally, medical graduates from around the globe are attracted to the opportunity to train at Los Angeles General Medical Center.
