Making Our History
University of Central Florida College of Medicine was established in 2006 by the Florida Legislature and the Florida Board of Governors to address the growing physician shortage nationwide and provide economic benefits to Central Florida and the state. The college currently includes M.D. program and the Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences.
In August 2009, we welcomed an outstanding charter class of 41 students. The class had the highest average MCAT score and GPA of any incoming class of medical students in Florida, and with more than 4,300 applicants, the college was among the most selective in the nation. Starting 2013, the M.D. program will admit 120 students each year, while Burnett School is already home to more than 2,300 undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students.
As a new medical school, we offer students opportunities not available anywhere else, allowing them to prepare for careers in every discipline of medicine and focus on individualized areas of study and research. More...
We offer degrees in:
- Biomedical Sciences
