\u00a0 Governor Matt Meyer today announced a partnership with Thomas Jefferson University to establish a regional campus of Sidney Kimmel Medical College, creating the first four-year medical school in Delaware\u2019s history and a major investment in the future of healthcare access across the state.<\/p>\n
Delaware is currently one of only three states in the nation without a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) granting institution.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Delaware Medical School Consortium will change that, providing students with the opportunity to complete their entire medical education in Delaware while creating a stronger pipeline of physicians to serve communities throughout the state.<\/p>\n
The Delaware Medical School Consortium is supported by the state\u2019s Rural Health Transformation Program, a statewide initiative focused on strengthening access to care and improving health outcomes, particularly in Kent and Sussex Counties.<\/p>\n
Additional details regarding accreditation, enrollment timelines, academic programming, and community partnerships will be announced as planning and implementation efforts continue.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 Governor Matt Meyer today announced a partnership with Thomas Jefferson University to establish a regional campus of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208482,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1057,3831,91615,48924,91616,47579,9272,69,71,70,5651,42274],"class_list":["post-208481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-health","tag-health-care","tag-health-care-education","tag-health-sciences","tag-medical-doctor","tag-medical-education","tag-medicine","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-social-programs","tag-thomas-jefferson-university"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208481"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208481\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
