The UCSD School of Medicine is consistently ranked first or second in the nation in funding per faculty member, a measure of the faculty`s scientific prowess and productivity. UCSD physicians and researchers have been lauded with numerous awards and honors, including the Nobel Prize, Lasker Award and the membership of over 80 faculty members in the National Academy of Sciences and Institute of Medicine. The prestigious Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute are a significant presence on the School of Medicine campus, further enriching the depth of programs and talent at UCSD.
As for a "complete syllabus of what every medical student should grasp," Dr. Grobstein knew better. That was not agreed upon twenty-five years ago, and it has not been agreed upon since, and it will doubtless receive no pure consensus in the future. And although the faculty-chosen Committee on Educational Policy (CEP) and its two subcommittees, the Core Curriculum Committee (CCC) and the Electives Committee (EC), reach conclusions (because they have to), the dialogue between status quo and change is sustained - as befits 400 chiefs schooled in the best Socratic traditions. But the unavoidable fact that the subjects in the core curriculum you will encounter during your time here - which represents the minimum that every medical student must learn - have changed little testifies to the committees` essential nature. They are conservators, and will alter the core only after exhaustive study, debate, study, and then more debate. Insertion of new core necessarily means the death of other elements, a pronouncement made only after the sincerest scrutiny.
UCSD`s hospitals and outpatient centers are based in La Jolla and Hillcrest and we have clinical and training affiliations with hospitals and medical practices throughout the San Diego and Imperial Counties. Our partnership with Children`s Hospital and Health Center enables us to treat a significant number of the region`s pediatric patients, and relationships with the Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the Naval Medical Center expand our patient base even further. We also have important programs and partnerships with several community-based agencies serving the homeless and needy in San Diego and in Mexico. The medical campus is constantly evolving to support the exploration of emerging frontiers.

Although we could tier rank, over the past 25 years we've found no compelling benefit for ranking schools. Students are most successful when they prioritize personal and academic fit over school rank.
