University of California, Davis, School of Medicine
Description: Founded in 1966, the UC Davis School of Medicine graduated its first class of physicians in 1972. The school maintains research facilities on the Davis campus while the majority of the school's teaching and clinical space is located in Sacramento, 17 miles to the east of the Davis campus. With the December 2006 opening of its new Education Building, the school recently transitioned all medical school classes to the Sacramento campus. Research activities will continue at both campuses for the foreseeable future.
The school gained national attention when an applicant challenged the school's affirmative action admissions policy. The Supreme Court of the United States, in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, 438 U.S. 265 (1978), ruled that the applicant had unconstitutionally been denied admission, and Bakke was admitted.
As a result of UC Davis School of Medicine's reputation for excellence in education, small class size, desirable location in Northern California and relatively affordable tuition, admissions is highly competitive. In 2005 the school received 4,109 applications, offered interviews to 392 applicants of which 93 matriculated. The acceptance rate for applicants to UC Davis School of Medicine is approximately 5%. For 2007, US News and World Report ranks UC Davis School of Medicine #30 based on primary care methodology and #49 based on research methodology.
UC Davis Medical Center, located in Sacramento, is one of five teaching hospitals in the University of California system. It ranks among the top 50 hospitals in America, according to an annual survey published by U.S. News and World Report.
