Why BYU's New Medical School is a Big Deal for the LDS Community!Brigham Young University (BYU) is making headlines with the announcement of its new medical school, a significant milestone for the institution. Historically, BYU has focused on undergraduate education, offering top-tier programs that prepare students for graduate studies elsewhere. This new development marks a shift in strategy, adding a third major emphasis to their existing law and business schools. The decision to establish a medical school aligns with the increasing demand for healthcare professionals and provides an opportunity for BYU to retain its talented pre-med students who previously had to seek medical education elsewhere. The new medical school will not create its own hospital system but will collaborate with Intermountain Health and other entities in Utah, including the University of Utah. This partnership aims to enhance clinical training opportunities for students while addressing global health issues affecting members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. With a strong pre-med program already in place, BYU's new medical school is poised to become a significant player in the field of medical education, benefiting both local and international communities.
