Quote:CLEVELAND CLINIC AND OHIO UNIVERSITY TO OPEN MEDICAL SCHOOL EXTENSION CAMPUS IN NORTHEAST OHIO

New site addresses need for primary care physicians and infuses $49.1 million into Northeast Ohio

Monday, June 11, 2012, Cleveland: Cleveland Clinic and Ohio University and its Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-HCOM) announced today they have signed an affiliation agreement to develop a Northeast Ohio regional extension campus of the medical school to be located on Cleveland Clinic’s South Pointe Hospital campus. Through this affiliation, the partners are addressing the growing shortage of primary care physicians in Ohio and investing a combined $49.1 million into Northeast Ohio.

Ohio University’s commitment includes $36 million, which provides support for renovations to a building on the South Pointe Hospital campus and additional institutional commitments for faculty, staff and operations to provide medical education. Cleveland Clinic’s contribution of $13.1 million includes capital improvements and renovations to the building, staff and operational support, as well as medical education support. Cleveland Clinic is also committed to working to expand the number of AOA-approved or dual-accredited post graduate residency and fellowship positions. The investment also includes a $5 million grant to South Pointe Hospital from the Brentwood Foundation to support the new extension campus. In addition, the Brentwood Foundation, a non-profit, private foundation dedicated to the advancement of osteopathic medicine, is committing $6 million to graduate medical education.

The Athens-based medical school has a history of training physicians who stay in Ohio to practice, and this additional site is planned to increase the number of family medicine, pediatric and internal medicine physicians who will remain in Northeast Ohio to practice, particularly in underserved urban and rural areas.

Recap:

-Another year, another medical campus opens for Ohio after signing an agreement for a campus in Dublin last year.

-Ohio now has 3 medical campuses (Athens, Dublin, Shaker Heights) as its taking the role as the state's primary physician college.

-The 36 million Ohio just fronted for this agreement with the Cleveland Clinic is more than the entire endowment of a few schools in FBS.

That's great news. We will need lots more doctors in Ohio since our current heavily-rationed health care "system" is now in the process of being ended !

Quote:I like McDavis. No doubt in my mind he loves Ohio and Ohio athletics. I remember going to some function (bobcat bash?) before the first OSU game 4 years ago with McDavis and the governor present. McDavis gave a rousing speech pretty much ripping OSU and declaring OHIO the real state University. Governor was unsure what to do. Every time I've heard McDavis since he has been similar. The videos of his pep-talks for hoops (got national press) and football (in one of the highlight videos?) are golden. Honestly, I wish we'd see more of that. Even at my graduation he had a pretty fiery speaking mentality.

UB has ~$1B in recently completed, in-progress, and soon-to-break-ground projects over an 18 month period. These are the two largest projects for our growing Downtown Campus within the Bufalo-Niagara Medical Campus:

"UB and Kaleida Health [have constructed] a $291 million, 10-story facility at Goodrich and Ellicott streets that will help Buffalo attract and retain “superstars” in key health sciences fields. The building will house research and development facilities, including UB’s $118 million Clinical and Translational Research Center (CTRC) and a UB Biosciences Incubator."



The University at Buffalo has chosen an architectural firm to design its new $375 Million medical school at Main and High streets.

That new Medical College looks sweet....I would start an In Buffalo News...thread for it.

Wait until we open in another Medical campus in Kettering. Ohio University right in Miami's backyard.

Once that happens, the the normal path for the Miami grad will be undergradute at Oxford but Med School at Ohio. Miami grads will gravitate to the superior Ohio football program much like Idaho grads support Boise State.

The University of Toledo is to break ground Monday on its Interprofessional Immersion Simulation Center, a $36 million facility that will employ 3D virtual reality technology and promote interdisciplinary learning.

The 60,000-square-foot simulation hub will have three floors, each featuring a different technology for students to experience and work in.

The first will be a simulation center where medical students from different disciplines such as doctors, pharmacists, and therapists can work together with simulated patients.

The second aspect will be a progressive anatomy suite that enables medical students to use fresh tissue from deceased people to practice exams.

The third floor of the center will immerse learners in virtual reality, using a room in which all the walls are ultrahigh-resolution projection systems.

The student will wear 3D goggles with radio frequency transmission so the surrounding environment will move with him or her.

The Interprofessional Immersion Simulation Center will be the first in the nation to integrate the three types of simulation centers under one roof, UT officials said.
