Preliminary accreditation means the school meets nationally accepted standards of educational quality. The school can now begin recruiting its first class of 42 aspiring physicians for the fall of 2010 (the class of 2014).
The college will be housed in a new 150,000-square-foot education and research facility under construction. Says Cynda Johnson, founding dean and president, Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, "This is also a testament to the incredible amount of determination, collaboration, and creativity of the [Virginia Tech Carilion] team. I am proud of the team and thrilled to begin recruiting our first class."
The curriculum interweaves research and inter-professional disciplines throughout the four-year educational experience.
