Kaiser Permanente Bernard J Tyson School of Medicine

OPERATION OF A MEDICAL SCHOOL IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INCORPORATING ADVANCED HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, ACKNOWLEDGING THE IMPORTANCE OF COLLABORATION, AND PROMOTING DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION TO DELIVER HEALTH EQUITY. THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE HAS WAIVED TUITION FOR THE ENTERING CLASSES OF 2020-2024 (I.E. FIRST 5 CLASSES). THE TUITION WAIVER APPLIES TO EACH CLASS FOR THEIR FOUR YEARS OF ENROLLMENT AND IS TREATED AS A REDUCTION TO THE REVENUE. FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021, THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF TUITION WAIVED WAS APPROXIMATELY $6.1 MILLION AND $3.8 MILLION, RESPECTIVELY. The Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine demonstrated its continued commitment to its mission, vision, and values by admitting a diverse group of students to its third cohort (46% underrepresented in medicine, 30% disadvantaged, 22% nontraditional, 16% first-generation). The school waives tuition and fees for all four years of enrollment for its first five cohorts, and continues to provide substantial institutional grant aid to offset living expenses (e.g., room and board, transportation). The school was granted provisional accreditation by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) in October 2022. This status is a major milestone in the path toward full accreditation.
