Construction began Monday on the private medical school, and accreditation is pending.
The applications process is slated to begin in April to fill 150 spots in the first year, beginning fall 2016. The school is expected to reach 1,200 in total enrollment, according to the report.
Roughly 24 clinics are clinically affiliated with the college and will host clinical clerkships for the students, and more than 250 physicians have signed clinical faculty applications, the medical school’s CEO and executive board member John Hummer told the Albuquerque Journal.
