Overview
Founded in 2013 and named after the renowned medical illustrator Dr. Frank H. Netter, the school was established to address physician shortages, particularly in primary care and underserved communities in Connecticut and beyond. As a young medical school, it has quickly built a reputation for its emphasis on interprofessional collaboration, working closely with Quinnipiac's nursing, health science, and other programs to train physicians who understand team-based care. The curriculum integrates clinical experience early, with students engaging in patient care from their first year through partnerships with regional hospitals and health systems.
