In August 2009, the College of Medicine will welcome the inaugural class. The four year program, leading to the MD degree, involves indepth exposure and training in all areas of medical education with specific focus on family and community medicine. Unique to the College is the hands-on experience each student receives in observing and caring for families who have little or no access to medical care. Key in the medical training is the focus on the importance of the doctor-patient relationship in a diverse patient population. The Mission of the College of Medicine at Florida Internation University is to serve as a model for the next generation of medical education and to elevate the level of care available to the Florida community. Our goals are to: (1) Educate culturally competent physicians to serve diverse popluations; (2) Provide South Florida students greater access to medical education, admitting a student body that reflects the rich diversity of the region; (3) Develop a curriculum focused on community medicine, elevating the quality of medical care; and (4) Develop basic, translational and clinical reserach programs that will ensure state of the art care and will substantially expand the economic growth potential of the region.
