The largest medical school in the country is partnering with Jacksonville University on an ambitious project.

Jacksonville University is partnering with Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, the nation’s largest osteopathic academic health system, to establish the city’s first four-year medical school.

LECOM applied for accreditation for the Jacksonville campus Oct. 12 and is under review by the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation. Once that is complete, the school will embark on constructing the facility. "Baptist and Flagler felt that the teaching initiative was important to what they were trying to do and we went from there," Cost said."Everybody we talked to believed the partnership was valuable to them.”

"It was looking into places where we thought we could be helpful in the community," Cost said."We were the largest city in America that didn't have a law school when we made that announcement. It's the same thing here: We're the largest city in America without a four-year medical school. So we're glad to be answering the call."

About five years ago — and more actively starting two years ago — Cost and Provost Christine Sapienza started looking at partners around the country, which led to the conversations with the Pennsylvania-based school.
