With only 35 physicians per 100,000 residents, Southern California’s Inland Empire faces an acute shortage of primary-care physicians. To address this need, the University of California, Riverside (UCR), expanded its School of Medicine with a new $87-million Education Building (known as EDII), doubling class capacity to 125 students per year.
