Prime Healthcare Foundation established the California University of Science and Medicine, a private, non-profit medical school located in Southern California in 2018. Founded with a mission of caring for and educating the underserved and promoting health equity, CUSM graduated its first class of physicians in May 2022 and is growing rapidly as it trains the next generation of healthcare providers. Thirteen percent of its first graduating class comes from historically underrepresented groups (Hispanic/Latino, African American and Native American) and 19 percent from the Inland Empire of Southern California. Furthermore, 20 percent of CUSM’s inaugural MD class come from families of low socio-economic status and 16 percent are first generation college students.
