The Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern
California is located on the 45-acre Health Sciences Campus,
three miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles and seven miles
from the USC University Park Campus.
The Health Sciences Campus (HSC) is a focal point for students,
patients and scientists from around the world. The many clinical,
classroom and laboratory resources of the campus combine to
form a dynamic, interactive environment for learning, collaboration
and scientific discovery.
The Health Sciences Campus lies adjacent to the Los Angeles
County+University of Southern California (LAC+USC) Medical
Center, a primary affiliate of the Keck School of Medicine
and one of the nations largest teaching hospitals. HSC
also houses state-of-the-art health care facilities, among
them the USC University Hospital, the USC/Norris Comprehensive
Cancer Center and Hospital, the Doheny Eye Institute. USC
is also partners with the nearby Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.
Creating more opportunities for Keck School faculty and students
to work at the forefront of biomedicine while continuing to
provide outstanding patient care are among the Keck Schools
highest priorities. New initiatives at the Keck School and
greater HSC include building some 585,000 square feet of new
research space, as well as expanding and modernizing patient
care facilities.
The Health Sciences Campus is also home to the School of
Pharmacy and the Independent Health Professions programs.
