Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It's not just a day off, but a day to continue Dr. King's legacy.

Homegrown faculty

The same culture and values that have made the UC Davis School of Medicine a major draw for prospective students has also kept many graduates on campus to serve as members of the faculty. In the above video, Kevin Mullins, associate clinical professor in the Sports Medicine Clinic, explains what drew him to UC Davis and kept him here through 13 years of training.
