We strive to bring the most innovative advancements in medicine resulting in the best possible outcomes and personalized positive experiences.”

U.S. News & World Report's 2023 graduate school rankings placed the School of Medicine No. 3 in diversity and No. 7 in the nation for family medicine, jumping two spots.

The School of Medicine also moved up to No. 8 nationally in primary care and No. 19 in public health. It maintained a high ranking in research, coming in at 51st overall.

"UC Davis School of Medicine is at the forefront of transforming medical education and preparing our future physician leaders to improve the lives of their communities in an ever-changing health care landscape,” said Susan Murin, the school’s interim dean. “Our school’s national leadership in diversity, family medicine, primary care, and research reflects the mission-driven and groundbreaking work of our faculty, students, trainees, and staff.”

This is the second-consecutive year the School of Medicine was included in the top five for diversity among its student body. In fact, UC Davis was the only medical school in the top five for diversity on the West Coast.
