A First Look at the Future of Medical Education

On October 23, 2015, approximately 100 guests attended a preview of Geffen Hall, the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA’s new medical-education building that will transform the future of medicine and is slated to open in the fall of 2016. …

Designed to foster the most effective methods of teaching and learning currently available, with the flexibility to incorporate new methods in the future, Geffen Hall will enable a continuous and dynamic learning experience and allow for a variety of classes and gatherings for large and small groups. Spaces such as the teaching lab and clinical-skills lab will engage students with team-based clinical exercises, virtual patients, task trainers and other digital-learning activities, while spaces such as the auditorium suite seamlessly connect UCLA with institutions around the world.
