REACH: Advancing Central California Health with New Medical School Pathway

A long-established goal of the UC Davis School of Medicine is to train physicians for practice in diverse communities where they are most needed to bridge California’s health equity gap. The San Joaquin Valley, from about Lodi to Bakersfield, has faced a physician shortage for decades, in part because there’s no medical school in the region. Thanks to a partnership with Kaiser Permanente, UC Davis School of Medicine’s REACH pathway students receive valuable experience in an area of California that is medically underserved, short on doctors and struggling with health disparities.
