Match Day at the David Geffen School of Medicine
PRIME-LA
The PRIME-LA program is a 5-year dual degree program focusing on the development of leaders in medicine who will improve health care delivery, research, and policy in underserved communities. Masters degrees may be completed in areas that complement the mission of the program, generally an MBA, MPH or MPP. The annual cohort is composed of 18 students. Students will identify with one of two programs: PRIME UCLA-Westwood (14) or PRIME UCLA-CDU (4). A commitment to serve in, and experience working with, diverse medically disadvantaged populations is paramount. While the program is fully coordinated with the other medical student programs, application and acceptance are specific to UCLA PRIME.
Drew/UCLA Medical Education Program
The Drew/UCLA program was established in 1978 between the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science in south Los Angeles and the UCLA School of Medicine. Its mission is to train students to practice medicine with competence and compassion in disadvantaged communities.
