Medical School Expansion Plans
University of Central Florida (UCF)- 2008
?In March 2006, the University of Central Florida (UCF) received
approval from the state?s Board of Governors to establish a new
medical school in Orlando, Florida. UCF
presented the school as an opportunity for Florida to bring new
businesses and jobs to the area and therefore increased tax revenue
for the state. The school hopes to have its first class of 40 admitted
as early as 2008.?
Florida International University (FIU) - 2008
?Florida International University (FIU) also received approval from
the state?s Board of Governors in March 2006 to establish a new
medical school in Miami. FIU also pitched the school as an economic
opportunity for the state and projected the state would receive over
$1 billion per year in economic benefits, mainly derived from spin-off
businesses related to the new school. The doctor shortage was also a
part of the debate. The school hopes enroll its first class of 36
students in 2008 and increase enrollment to 120 per year by 2015.?
Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) - 2008
?Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) is actively seeking to
bring a four year medical campus to Eugene, Oregon, in partnership
with PeaceHealth. The details of how the medical school program will
be split between the Eugene campus and the main OHSU site are still up
in the air and could include having students split time between the
two campuses and/or having some students spend all four years in
Eugene. Students could be on campus within two years, according to
University Senior Vice President and Provost
John Mosely.?
The University of Arizona branch campus in Phoenix - 2007
?The University of Arizona is in the process of developing a branch
campus in Phoenix, with ambitions of training up to 150 students by
2015. UA has enough state funds to begin enrolling the initial 24
first-year students in its Phoenix campus in 2007.
