UCI’s Susan and Henry Samueli College of Health Sciences is translating the tripartite mission—Discover-Teach-Heal—into the diverse healthcare workforce of the future and groundbreaking scientific discoveries. Creating a first-of-its-kind alliance across health disciplines, the college comprises the School of Medicine, the Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing, the recently-launched School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, the future School of Population & Public Health (scheduled to be accredited in 2021), the Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute, and research units focused on cancer, clinical translational science, precision health, and stem cells. In robust synergy with UCI Health, the only academic medical center in Orange County, UCI is transforming education, discovery, and patient care to benefit the region, state, and nation.
Together, the Susan and Henry Samueli College of Health Sciences and UCI Health form UCI Health Affairs, led by Vice Chancellor Steve Goldstein, MA, MD, PhD, FAAP.
Constructing a health sciences complex
The University of California, Irvine began construction in Febuary 2020 on a landmark 9-acre health sciences complex that promises to be a national showcase for integrative health patient care, training and research. The site – on the corner of Bison and California avenues adjacent to the UCI Research Park – will include a state-of-the-art, five-story-level, 108,200-square-foot building for the Susan and Henry Samueli College of Health Sciences Building and an adjoining four-story-level, 71,500-square-foot building for the Sue and Bill Gross Nursing & Health Sciences Hall.
