Keck School of Medicine of USC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Keck School of Medicine is the medical school at the University of Southern California. Founded in 1885 as the USC College of Medicine, it was closed in 1921 and reopened in 1928 as the USC School of Medicine. It is affiliated with Children's Hospital Los Angeles

The school has moved to the Health Sciences Campus two miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles, instead of the main University Park campus at the Southern edge of downtown LA. The Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center is adjacent to the campus. The Keck School of Medicine also has many research institutes including the Institute for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research with an additional campus in Alhambra, California.

In 1999, the school was renamed the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, in honor of a $110 million gift from the W. M. Keck Foundation.
