Five-year concurrent degree program leading to an MD and a Masters in areas that complement the mission of the program. These might include MBA, MPH or MPP. This year’s cohort will be composed of approximately 18 students. Students will identify with one of two designations: PRIME-LA Westwood (14) or PRIME-LA CDU (4)

A commitment to serve in, and experience working with California and U.S., diverse medically disadvantaged populations is paramount. While programs coordinate with each other acceptance is to PRIME-LA. Applicants offered secondary applications identify their preferences as to which PRIME-LA designation is of interest, PRIME-LA Westwood or PRIME-LA CDU.
