All Keck School departments take part in education. In total, department
faculty members direct the studies of approximately 650 medical
students, more than 200 graduate students and nearly 900 interns,
residents and fellows annually.
Departments also play a central role in patient care at Keck-affiliated
hospitals and clinics, as well as through faculty members’
private practices. All of the 17 clinical departments provide university-level
patient care while also directing clinical studies and trials.
With more than $125 million in research funding, departments lead
efforts that may lead to radical new understandings of the body
and disease. The six basic science departments put a major emphasis
on research into the fundamental understanding of biological systems
and how biological problems can cause disease.
