It is. All of the UCs are. But that doesn't mean you can't try for them, OP. But I also don't think they're classified as SMPs.

I 100% agree -- I was born in upstate NY, moved to California when I was 6, went to college in Philly, and now I'm back home in San Francisco. So I'm not one of those people who doesn't like change. I love it, actually! However, knowing that med school could take me anywhere (and no doubt I will be willing to go anywhere), I would just love to spend the next year near my family again, if at all possible.

UCLA, UCSF, UCI, UCSD, USC (and probably others) all have post-bacc programs for minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged students. These aren't degree-granting programs, but they are specifically designed to help you get into medical school and from what I understand they are all top-notch.
Now if only I were a minority, or socioeconomically disadvantaged I could stay here and wouldn't have to move across country. 😡
Also, I belive CSUF has a 1-yr bio masters program if you were looking for a degree-granting, but don't quote me on that.
Lastly, check out http://services.aamc.org/postbac/ which lets you search by criteria that you're looking for.
