The institute for clinical and translational science at UC Irvine: Building an inquisitive environment where everything is questioned and there is no status quo

摘要

The University of California, Irvine, is one of the prestigious University of California family of campuses. It is a young and dynamic institution with a student population of 22,000 undergraduates and 5,000 graduates. The Times of London selected UC Irvine in both 2012 and 2013 as one of the top five young (less-than-50-years-old) universities in the world. Academic development in the past decade has been particularly robust with the addition of new Schools of Law and Education, and Programs in Nursing Science, Pharmaceutical Science, and Public Health. The School of Medicine and the UC Irvine Health clinical enterprise comprise the only academic health center in the central region of southern California. We are emerging as a catalyst for healthcare reform and clinical translational investigation, both regionally and globally.
