The Southern California School of Medicine (SCSM) is a non-profit allopathic institution based in Los Angeles. Rooted in academic rigor, it prepares future physicians to meet the evolving demands of modern healthcare.
SCSM sets itself apart by embedding Surginuity™, our proprietary, structured fusion of a surgeon’s precision and human ingenuity, into the LCME curriculum. This mindset-driven approach develops physicians who lead with confidence and command, qualities scarce in today’s healthcare environment.
