The College of Medicine, created in 2000 to produce “compassionate physicians for the 21st century,” is the first new medical school of the century to be reaccredited. The college was reaccredited in 2011 for the maximum eight years by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. Also in 2011, it was reaccredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. That means it can continue to be a sponsoring institution for residency programs.

With its main campus in Tallahassee, where students complete their first two years, the medical school also has regional campuses in Orlando, Pensacola, Sarasota, Tallahassee, Ft. Pierce, and Daytona Beach, FL where third- and fourth-year clinical training takes place. There also are rural training sites in Marianna and Immokalee, FL, in addition to Thomasville, Ga. Rather than learning in an academic medical center, students learn one-on-one from community physicians in their offices, clinics and other outpatient settings as well as in hospitals.
