MSU officials hope to teach 100 first-year medical students in Grand Rapids by 2010, but first they need to find the faculty who will provide both the knowledge and financial base for the planned school. Last week, stakeholders in an expansion of MSU's College of Human Medicine to west Michigan announced their intention to create a new four-year medical school in Grand Rapids, a move that would roughly double the college's enrollment to about 200 students per class. A similar growth in the size of the college's faculty will be necessary to facilitate the new program. In order to teach second-year students — something the college hopes to do as early as 2008 — stakeholders have projected that the equivalent of about 12 full-time teaching faculty will be needed.
