Our community is made up of talented leaders who think deeply and work to build a foundation of community in healthcare, education, society, and most importantly, our own institution.

At the David Geffen School of Medicine (DGSOM) at UCLA, we’ve been working together to create a culture that is fully inclusive and that benefits from the excellence and experience of a committed workforce and community. As a collective institution, our work is only just beginning, but that beginning makes us optimistic for a future filled with positive growth. We are grateful for the continued support of every person in our community as we continue working to create the impact that is needed.
