Planned UC Med Schools Get $5m Boost
UnitedHealth Group has made matching $5 million donations to support the planned establishment of medical schools at UC Merced and UC Riverside.
The funds will be used over three years to help develop medical and health science education programs at the two UC campuses. Specific uses of the money include paying for initial studies and faculty salaries.
UC Merced hopes to establish a medical school providing first- and second-year classes to 32 students within the next ten years. Students would complete their medical studies at the Fresno campus of UC San Francisco. Ultimately, it is hoped that the Merced school would teach all four years of the medical curriculum and graduate as many as 1oo students each year.
