At the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA (DGSOM), we believe that healthcare is a human right. We are educating the next generation of physicians, physician-scientists, and researchers with that belief in mind. Our core values of inclusive excellence are inseparable from our institutional goals of excellence in all tenets of healthcare, research, education, and community engagement.

Welcome from the Vice Dean of Inclusive Excellence
Deep, lasting change is only possible when there are systems and structures to guide change and reinforce new and emergent ways of being.
