The Medical College of Wisconsin is one of the largest private medical schools in the country, with more than 200 students matriculating annually. Within the past year, the Medical College has begun to assess its capacity to contribute to mitigating the anticipated physician shortfall in Wisconsin – especially as it relates to increasing access to primary care practitioners. Dr. John R. Raymond, Sr., President and Chief Executive Officer, will discuss the Medical College’s commitment to developing an expanded medical education program which both addresses the need for primary care physicians in underserved communities across the state and employs an innovative teaching model to prepare medical students to face the challenges of our rapidly evolving 21st century health care environment. |
