The founding faculty will be integral in the program's goals of establishing innovative partnerships with outside stakeholders as well as the UC Davis Medical Center. The program will also seek to establish pipelines for health care professionals from, and interested in, working in rural and underserved communities.

As part of UC Davis, one of the world's top universities (https://www.ucdavis.edu/about/rankings), the School of Nursing attracts likeminded faculty and student change agents interested in leading health care with a vision for optimal health and health care equity for all. Faculty, students, and staff promote health equity and high-quality care through innovative research, education, clinical practice, and health policy.
