Their admissions kinda sucks

What do you want to know? I'm not on here much anymore, but I'd be happy to answer any questions I can. As for research, I'm probably not the best person to ask since I am not on that path. But we have several MD/PhD students in the first-year class. Also, there was a meeting fairly recently about getting involed with research and I know some people who are planning to do it. The new college system is also designed to help you get to know faculty more easily, and the director of our college met with each of us and research was one of the things we discussed. There is also a brand new genomics research building on campus, and they are hoping to get money to start a stem cell institute out of the recently passed ballot proposition. Research is definitely an option at Davis. It is definitely not just a primary care school.

What about their research? I do research at the UCD med center. They have a lot of research facilities here and gets quite a bit of funding. Any particulars you would like to know?

for example, what is davis's research big on? all i hear about davis is how good their primary care is and how many doctors they train to go into that field. i'm interested in ortho and anes, how is their research in uc davis?

UCD is tops in ortho. I work a floor below one of many ortho microsurgery research labs. I know a MD/PhD working up there and he praises the program like no other. The ACC also has a lot of clinical and trial studies. That's why Ellison, Oracle CEO, donated so much money to the program because his elbow was treated succesfully at UCDMC, and he wanted to express his gratitude.

They usually leave at least an hour between interviews. The student interview will be at noon for everyone. It varies whether or not you'll get a morning interview and where. Good luck.

you can get a ride with someone with a car, mostlikely. or, you can take the shuttle from sac-town to davis.

I do research for the dept. of anesthesiology. I think it's great! The pain fellowship is one of the most competitive in the country.. they have so many people applying it's crazy and all applicants are outstanding. Anyway, the GCRC (General Clinical Research Center) just opened up and has a 1 million dollar funding from NIH so they are looking to get more and more clinical and basic science research in that building. Davis has affiliations with so many hospitals it's kinda crazy: For examp.. studies reach out to not only the med center, but the VA, Mercy, Sutter and Kaiser . It's quite good and the physicians are very committed to patient care, education, and research.

It's a really underrated school. Historic city, great research, great medical center. I was impressed.

I'm in internal medicine at Research I, separated by a parking lot from the ACC. I go over to the ACC for lunch sometimes in the cafetaria. Can't beat their 1.50 hot dog and 1.25 Nachos. No wonder i'm getting fat...

Nah, homie - Davis is located just outside of Sacramento, in the wonderful central valley of California, but is considered to be in Northern California. Those lucky Davis students are a short hour-drive away from Modesto, CA, the hometown of Scott Peterson and Gary Condit; Modesto also boasts the highest car theft rate in the nation, as well as being one of the largest methamphetamine producers in the nation. I 😍 Modesto!

Modesto isn't that bad. Just don't go there at night or park your car on the streets 🙄
