Overview
The UCF College of Medicine was established in 2006 and welcomed its charter class in 2009, making it one of the newest allopathic medical schools in the United States. Built from the ground up with a focus on innovation, the college emphasizes small-group, patient-centered learning, early clinical exposure, and integration of biomedical science with technology. It has quickly earned a reputation for producing well-rounded physicians and for its unique partnership model with Central Florida's healthcare systems rather than owning its own teaching hospital.
