The UCLA School of Medicine provides leadership and fosters excellence in biomedical research, teaching, patient care and community service. Founded in 1951 and among the youngest of the nation's medical schools, UCLA ranks in the top ten of medical schools in research, patient care, and education.

The school emphasizes diversity of experience to its students. The main teaching hospital --the UCLA Medical Center, a 668-bed tertiary-care facility -- consistently ranks as the best hospital in the Western United States in a survey prepared by U.S News and World Report. Students also train at UCLA's network of affiliated teaching facilities, which includes county, Veterans Administration and private hospitals, homeless clinics and senior citizen homes.

The School's progressive curriculum continually evolves along with changes in medicine and medical practice. The Doctoring Curriculum, for example, allows students to interact with patients from their first day of medical school and to examine social issues such as drug abuse, homelessness and access to care.

Many nationally-recognized research institutes are present at the School of Medicine -- the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, the UCLA AIDS Institute, the UCLA Brain Research Institute, the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, the Jules Stein Eye Institute, the Crump Institute, the DOE Lab of Structural Biology and Molecular Medicine, and the Mental Retardation Research Unit.

1999-‘00 MILESTONES INCLUDE:
Pledges of $150 million from a group of friends of former President Ronald Reagan to name the new UCLA Medical Center. This gift, from multiple donors, represents the single largest donation to the University of California in its history.
An anonymous $10-million gift from a very generous donor who, with this contribution, has fully funded the new Medical Center's Emergency Room.
   The Lincy Foundation's two gifts, of $6 million for the new Medical Center and $2 million for the Reagan naming.
   The Ahmanson Foundation's bequest of $7.5 million for the construction of the new Medical Center.
   The Gonda Foundation's full funding of $5 million for the Gonda (Goldschmeid) Diabetes Center, which is now open, and their generous support ($1 million) for Helena Chang's Breast Center.
