National recruitment of students with dedication to the underserved to this specific medical education track that merges traditional medical education with public health curriculum ? MD + Public Health Certificate or MD + MPH.
Creative use of “Summer Institutes” for in-depth work.
If possible and funding available, expand medical student class size from 40 to 70 per year, add Physician Assistant students – initial class of 25, expand residents from 201 to 251.

Altruism can be preserved with the right teaching / clinical environment.
Public health data and physician manpower data drove our planning and influenced philanthropy.
Important for us to create something complementary and not competitive with existing medical education and clinical services.
Planning:
Intimately involved students and philanthropy in planning.
Everyone Involved - Primary Care, Specialty Care, Bio-medical Researchers, Community Partners, DO and MD….and other Colleges….because team care works.
