UCI School of Medicine earns sixth consecutive Apple Distinguished School recognition

UCI School of Medicine has been recognized as an Apple Distinguished School for 2022-2025. This recognition is given for innovation in learning, teaching and education environment. The School of Medicine has received this recognition continuously since 2012.

"We are preparing future physicians to practice 21st-century medicine in an increasingly digital, highly mobile healthcare environment," said Warren Wiechmann, MD, associate dean for Educational Technologies at the UCI School of Medicine.

In 2010, UCI became the first in the nation to equip each of its incoming medical students with their own iPads. The iPad program is part of the unique iMedEd Initiative, which is committed to employing current digital technology in order to expand and improve the traditional medical school curriculum by employing iPads, portable point-of-care ultrasound and advanced medical simulation training.

Apple Distinguished Schools are centers of innovation, leadership and educational excellence. They use Apple technology to connect students to the world, fuel creativity, deepen collaboration and make learning personal.
