- School Information
- "In August 2012, under the initial name 'Eastern California College of Medicine,' Dr. Reddy and other leaders defined the mission and vision of the institution to develop and operate a school of medicine to educate future physicians and medical support personnel, as well as conduct medical research in furtherance of the science and art of medicine. In May 2013, the institution was renamed California University of Science and Medicine. In 2017, CUSM developed its first graduate degree program, the Master’s in Biomedical Sciences program (MBS). The primary goal of the program is to better prepare students for a career in medicine or other healthcare professions, by enhancing students’ academic qualifications to gain acceptance into advanced healthcare educational programs. In April 2017, CUSM expanded its WASC Senior College and University Commission (“WSCUC”) eligibility to include the MBS program." (Source: https://www.cusm.org/about/history.php)

The innovative clinical presentation curriculum emphasizes public health, population health, global health and affordable, accessible care for all. The training of culturally competent healthcare providers requires a multicultural milieu in which diversity is deeply valued and encouraged."
