The eight-figure donation will be used to strengthen educational programs and offer scholarships to students, according to a Sept. 9 news release from the college shared with Becker’s.

Recently launched programs from the college include its physician assistant sciences program and its School of Global Health, which opened in 2023 and marked the first of its kind in the U.S., the release said.

Bloomberg donated $175 million to the college in August as part of its $600 million total donations to four historically Black medical schools.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
