FSU College of Medicine

What FSU College of Medicine does

FSU College of Medicine (Florida State University College of Medicine) is a public medical school established in 2000 by the Florida Legislature, operating as the first new U.S. medical school of the 21st century. It delivers a community-based, mission-driven model of medical education through six regional campuses (Daytona Beach, Fort Pierce, Orlando, Pensacola, Sarasota, Tallahassee) plus rural program sites in Marianna, Thomasville, and Immokalee. Core academic offerings include M.D., Physician Assistant, Ph.D., M.S. Bridge, and B.S. in Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences programs, with a distinctive 42-hour nutrition education curriculum integrated across all four years of medical training.

The institution supplements education with a portfolio of clinical services branded under FSU Health (FSU PrimaryHealth, FSU SeniorHealth, FSU BehavioralHealth, FSU NEUROMODULATION) and a research infrastructure comprising multiple centers and institutes, including the Autism Institute, Center for Rural Health Research & Policy, Center for Behavioral Health Integration, and the 2025-launched Institute for Connecting Nutrition and Health (ICON-Health). Funding derives from State of Florida appropriations, tuition, and private philanthropy, including a $10M endowed contribution to the Immokalee campus and major named gifts. Distribution relies on a direct, field-based model through regional campuses and teaching hospital partnerships such as Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare and the 2025 BayCare/St. Joseph's Tampa behavioral health designation.

The customer base consists of M.D., PA, Ph.D., and undergraduate students seeking medical training aligned with primary care and service to rural, minority, and underserved populations in Florida. The institution's GTM is anchored in mission-driven recruitment, supplemented by organic social channels, the semi-annual FSU MED Magazine, an annual report, alumni events, and student-led community programs such as the Chapman Wellness Garden and Big Bend Buddies.

Direct peers

• University of Florida College of Medicine: Florida's flagship public MD-granting medical school. UF and FSU COM are the two public MD-grantors in Florida's pre-2000 system, with UF as a longstanding collaborator (Hippocrates tree gift, 3MT competition) and direct competitor for in-state applicants, research funding, and faculty talent.
• University of Central Florida College of Medicine: Florida public medical school established in 2006 with a community-based, mission-driven model very similar to FSU COM. Competes directly for in-state applicants, community preceptors, and hospital partnerships in Central Florida (Orlando).
• Florida International University Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine: Florida public medical school launched in 2006 with an explicit social accountability mission focused on underserved and diverse communities — a near twin to FSU COM's mission-driven, community-based identity and direct applicant-overlap competitor.
• University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine: Florida public MD-granting school with statewide reach including regional campuses. Competes for in-state applicants and residency placements, and USF's presence in Tampa overlaps with FSU's new BayCare/St. Joseph's partnership geography.
• Florida Atlantic University Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine: Florida public medical school established 2010 with a community-based curriculum model mirroring FSU COM's distributed regional approach. Targets similar in-state applicant pool and competes for clinical training sites in Southeast Florida.
• Nova Southeastern University Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine: Florida-based private MD-granting school competing for the same applicant pool and clinical training sites. While private rather than public, it sits in the same Florida medical education market and offers comparable MD program scope.
• Morehouse School of Medicine: Atlanta-based HBCU medical school with an explicit mission to train physicians for underserved, minority, and rural populations. Closely aligned with FSU COM's mission-driven, community-based, primary-care-oriented identity at a national level.
• Quinnipiac University Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine: Newer community-focused MD-granting medical school with a primary care and patient-centered mission comparable to FSU COM's distributed clinical training and social-mission ethos.
• Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine: Community-based MD-granting school integrated with the Geisinger Health System, known for population-health and rural-service training — directly comparable to FSU COM's community-based regional campus model serving underserved Florida populations.
• East Tennessee State University Quillen College of Medicine: Public MD-granting school with an explicit rural and primary care mission across Appalachia. Closely comparable to FSU COM's rural focus (Marianna, Immokalee, Thomasville) and statewide physician-shortage strategy.
