German, M.D.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UCF College of Medicine :: About the College :: Dean's Welcome )〕 The college consists of a public medical school located on the UCF Health Sciences Campus in the Lake Nona Medical City, a health and life sciences park in southeast Orlando. The college also offers courses on UCF's main campus in East Orlando through the Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences and in partnership with the College of Nursing. ==History== In October 2005, a local Orlando investment company, the Tavistock Group, donated $12.5 million and of land to UCF to help establish the UCF Medical School at Lake Nona, and issued a challenge to the Orlando community to help the University raise an additional $12.5 million to boost the total amount of raised funds to $25 million. This $25 million would be eligible for a matching grant from the state; thus giving UCF the needed $50 million to create a new medical college. UCF received well over $100 million in donations, state-matching funds, and land value for the medical college's establishment. On March 23, 2006, the Florida Board of Governors voted 15-1 in support of UCF's proposal to build a medical college. The College of Medicine would consist of a new UCF medical campus that was constructed at Lake Nona; located on the eastern edge of Orlando near the Orlando International Airport. Upon completion of the first phase, the base of the College of Medicine included a building for the Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences, and a College of Medicine instructional building and health sciences library. The new College of Medicine offered an unprecedented full scholarship package to every member of its charter class; 41 students entering in Fall 2009. The scholarship, financed by various donors, amounts to $40,000 per year, half going to tuition (out-of-state fees being waived) and the other half for living expenses. Dean German spearheaded the effort to secure these scholarships, having herself received a similar scholarship at Harvard Medical School. The new school received over 4,300 applications, including at least one with a perfect MCAT score, making it the most selective medical school in the United States at that time.〔〔 The UCF College of Medicine announced February 11, 2013, that it had received full accreditation from the LCME.〔()〕 On May 17, 2013, 36 students in the College of Medicine Charter Class graduated with their medical degrees.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Central Florida College of Medicine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
