A NEW MEDICAL SCHOOL IN ST. LOUIS
In 2020, the school announced plans for a new School of Medicine in St. Louis. In addition to beginning its Doctor of Medicine program, the school will include a hospital for students to complete their residencies and provide care to the community. This expansion will allow PHSU St. Louis to put action behind their vision of providing high-quality healthcare education and research opportunities to students who show potential to succeed as a doctor, especially those who might need an alternate pathway to medical school.
