A lot of big changes are coming to Baltimore’s historic national treasure—including a future college of medicine.According to Wilson, the medical school should be finished “around 2026 or so.” However, the university will accept its first class of medical students in fall 2024. “They [contractors] will build a free-standing facility that will actually house the faculty, the students, and staff of the proposed college,” said Wilson. Although the college will accept students before the physical medical facility is built, students pursuing degrees in osteopathic medicine will complete classes in other facilities on campus. “We have put in place nearly 35 new academic degree programs at the university, we have increased the research profile of Morgan, our students are performing on the world stage with the best of them and winning,” Wilson said. This is only one step in a large plan to expand the infrastructure of Morgan. The announcement comes after the Baltimore City Board of Estimates approved Morgan State University’s purchase of the Lake Clifton property, which is set to house research buildings for the university, among other amenities. www.weaa.org/local-news/2022-06-24/morgan-state-university-to-demolish-old-montebello-complex-and-build-college-of-osteopathic-medicine

Dr Jane Brown said we should have a medical school when I was in her class in ‘96. She said she offered to help draft the proposal and everything. 🤷🏾♂️

Congrats to Morgan! Let's be clear, a college of osteopathic medicine is different from a medical school.
