Historical Timeline
Much has changed from the early days when the medical school came to campus and a medical center was acquired, to today’s Susan & Henry Samueli College of Health Sciences with its world-class programs and facilities. What remains the same is our dedication to train new generations of physicians and nurses, conduct breakthrough research and provide the finest patient care.
