  Mr. BERA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 50th 
anniversary of the UC Davis School of Medicine.
   Since 1968, the UC Davis School of Medicine has played an important 
role in health care in Northern California. UC Davis is consistently 
among the top ranked medical schools for primary care training and 
research.
   From its inaugural class, UC Davis School of Medicine has shown a 
commitment to the community outside of the classroom. Through its 
student run community health clinics, the school has demonstrated a 
dedication to service by providing free and convenient care to 
underserved populations in the greater Sacramento area.
   In both coursework and curriculum, UC Davis School of Medicine helps 
create a diverse physician workforce that is responsive to societal 
needs. The Community Health Scholars program trains students in 
understanding and serving the unique primary care health needs of 
California's rural, agricultural, and urban communities.
   The School of Medicine provides the opportunity to participate in 
cutting edge research and the skills to translate those breakthroughs 
into benefit for patients.
   Mr. Speaker, I invite my colleagues to join me in congratulating the 
UC Davis School of Medicine on 50 years of educating the next 
generation of doctors.
