Coalition Building Support for Medical School at UC-Merced

A growing coalition in the San Joaquin Valley is helping to build support for a proposed new medical school at UC-Merced, according to a report released last week in a news conference at the UCSF-Fresno Center for Medical Education and Research. The report, titled "A Vision for the Valley," aims to educate the public about the proposed medical school, evaluate community support and raise new funds for the project.
