The [California Medicine Scholars Program](https://news.ucr.edu/articles/2026/01/15/community-college-pathway-expands-and-diversifies-physician-pipeline?ref=raincrossgazette.com) has enrolled 399 students across four regional hubs since 2022 to create a community college-to-medical school pathway addressing California's physician shortage, with UCR's School of Medicine leading the Inland Empire hub in a region that has just 41 doctors per 100,000 people.
