Roseman College of Medicine one step closer to reality

The Roseman University of Health Sciences College of Medicine has been approved as a candidate for accreditation, a key step in the process of the school's goal of admitting 60 medical students each year starting in 2017.

The Liaison Committee on Medical Education accepted the self-study submitted by Roseman officials over the summer, and the next step in the process is a site visit by the accreditors. The self-study detailed all aspects of the medical education programs including what curriculum, resources, faculty and facilities will be needed.

Dates for the site visit have not been set, but it is expected to take place in early 2016. If the site visit goes well, Roseman officials could begin recruiting students after the committee meets in June to weigh the school's preliminary accreditation.
