Detailed Information
The Center for Biomedical Education was established in 1973 to address longstanding challenges of attracting physicians to primary care specialties and the geographic areas of greatest need. High-achieving high school graduates were admitted to an accelerated five-year curriculum that integrated the requirements for a baccalaureate degree with the content of traditional preclinical medical education. Successful students were subsequently matched to partner accredited medical schools for the clinical (clerkship) training and conferral of the MD degree. In 1978, the Center for Biomedical Education was renamed the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education (SDSBE).
