New medical school proposed at Morgan State, first one at HBCU school in 45 years
For the first time in 45 years, a new medical school at a historically Black college or university is opening and it’s proposed at Morgan State (MSU).
The university will partner with Ascension Saint Agnes Hospital to launch a for-profit, private medical school aimed to open in 2024.
“Let’s do this for Baltimore, let’s do this for our community,” said Dr. John Sealey, Founding Dean of the proposed College of Osteopathic Medicine at MSU.
The school will give underserved minority students an opportunity to live, learn and work in Baltimore.
“If you want to be a doctor there, you’re going to be a doctor there,” Dr. Sealey said. “That’s the whole important aspect of it. You see it, you dream it and you do it.”
Eventually, about 700 students and 150 employees that will make up the medical school.
