Dean’s Highest Priorities

Revolutionizing Health Care

What makes UCLA the perfect place for progress? As one of the nation’s youngest top universities, UCLA draws established experts and emerging leaders who are not afraid to think differently and dream boldly.

The medical field advances through discovery, and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is the birthplace of big discoveries. Doctors and medical students work in collaboration with biologists, engineers, and economists, enabling researchers to share knowledge and find solutions that work—all the way from lab bench to the bedside and into the community.

In recent decades, researchers at the school have developed effective cancer treatments, pioneered cutting-edge surgeries, and designed targeted strategies to personalize health care for each patient. These breakthroughs have revolutionized health care, improving well-being in Los Angeles and around the world.

Progress requires philanthropic partnerships. Private support plays a vital role in driving promising innovations, training the next generation of scientists and doctors, and propelling scientific discoveries into community care. A gift to the Dean’s Highest Priorities fund will enable school leaders to make strategic investments that advance science and health care, whether by establishing world-class training facilities for students and fellows, increasing scholarship support for aspiring scientists and physicians, or getting the next life-changing therapy to the patient.

The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is poised for the next big breakthrough. Your generosity will empower faculty, students, and staff to maximize every opportunity for developing the health care of the future.
