The UCLA School of Medicine's Interactive Multi-media Exercises (IMMEX) Project began its outreach into pre-college education in the Los Angeles area in 1993. The project provides a model in which software and technology are effectively intertwined with teaching, learning, and assessment (of both students' and teachers' performances) in the classroom. The project has evolved into a special collaboration between the medical school and Los Angeles teachers. UCLA faculty and staff work with science teachers and administrators from elementary, middle, and high schools. The program benefits ethnically and racially diverse groups of students in schools ranging from the inner city to the suburbs. The project's primary goal is to use technology to increase students' achievement and interest in science, including medicine, and thus move more students into the medical school pipeline. Evaluations from outside project evaluators (West Ed) as well as from teachers and IMMEX staff show that the project has already had a significant effect on teachers' professional development, classroom practice, and students' achievement in the Los Angeles area.
加州大学洛杉矶分校医学院的交互式多媒体练习（IMMEX）项目于1993年开始在洛杉矶地区开展针对大学预科教育的推广活动。该项目提供了一种模式，在这种模式中，软件和技术与课堂教学、学习以及（对学生和教师表现的）评估有效地交织在一起。该项目已发展成为医学院与洛杉矶教师之间的一项特殊合作。加州大学洛杉矶分校的教职员工与小学、初中和高中的科学教师及管理人员合作。该项目使从市中心到郊区的学校中不同种族和民族的学生群体受益。该项目的主要目标是利用技术提高学生在包括医学在内的科学领域的成绩和兴趣，从而使更多学生进入医学院的人才培养渠道。外部项目评估机构（西部教育联盟）以及教师和IMMEX工作人员的评估表明，该项目已经对洛杉矶地区教师的专业发展、课堂实践以及学生成绩产生了重大影响。
