The Campbell University Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine opened in 2011. On July 1, 2012, the school was awarded provisional accreditation status with the American Osteopathic Association's Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA),[6] which allowed the school to recruit students.[5] The inaugural class matriculated in August 2013.

Campus

The medical school's main building, a 96,500-square-foot state-of-the-art facility located on the university's Health Sciences Campus,[7] was estimated to have a start-up and build cost of $60 million. It is North Carolina's first new medical school to open in 35 years and is projected to have a regional economic growth of 1,158 new jobs and $300 million in its first 10-years of operation.[8]

Academics

Students at the medical school complete the first two years of training at the main campus in rural Harnett County, and the third and fourth years of training at various clinics and hospitals in the state.[7] The school has a partnership with Southeastern Regional Medical Center, Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, Wayne Memorial Hospital, Sampson Regional Medical Center, Novant Health Rowan Medical Center, WakeMed, and the Harnett Health System establishing clerkships for 3rd and 4th year rotations as well as residencies for Campbell students. [9]

On August 1st, the medical school received its first research grant from the National Institutes of Health and the National Cancer Institute, amounting to $300,000.[10]
