Reimagining Healthcare Education Since 1904.
Southern California College of Optometry Est. 1904 School of Physician Assistant Studies Est. 2012 College of Pharmacy Est. 2014
Marshall B. Ketchum University is leading a momentous change in health care education.
In 1904, pharmacist and physician, Dr. Marshall B. Ketchum, opened the Los Angeles School of Ophthalmology and Optometry in Los Angeles.
Today, we are preparing the next generation of optometrists, physician assistants (PAs) and pharmacists to meet the expectations being set by collaborative practice models nationwide. Our goal is to afford students opportunities for greater communication, quality of care and teamwork, while providing patients access to an interconnected team of health care professionals.
MBKU prepares students to deliver compassionate health care to patients through interprofessional education.
Our students prosper from the education at MBKU and clinical experience at Ketchum Health. These experiences propel them to succeed in the models of collaborative care taking shape across the nation.
MBKU is committed to excellent teaching, state-of-the-art research and academic facilities as well as the personal and intellectual growth of our students.
