Kaiser Permanente Med School Receives Prelim Accreditation, Plans 2020 Opening
The Kaiser Permanente School of Medicine, located in Pasadena, CA, has received preliminary accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. It will begin accepting applications from prospective students in June 2019, and will open to its first class in summer 2020.
The school’s state-of-the-art Medical Education Building, scheduled for completion later this year, is designed to support the collaborative curriculum, as well as the school’s commitment to student well-being. The building will house immersive learning tools, such as augmented and virtual reality and ultrasound simulation, for studying anatomy in lieu of traditional cadavers. Students will be able to enjoy an open rooftop along with a student lounge, meditation area, and fitness space.
“We’ve had the opportunity to build a medical school from the ground up, and have drawn from evidence-based educational approaches to develop a state-of-the-art school on the forefront of medical education, committed to preparing students to provide outstanding patient care in our nation’s complex and evolving healthcare system,” said Mark A. Schuster, MD, PhD, founding dean and CEO of the school.
Connect Los Angeles is planned March 21st at the Hotel Indigo Downtown Los Angeles. You can get more information and register on this link.
