Ponce School of Medicine Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Ponce School of Medicine is a post-graduate medicine school located in Ponce, Puerto Rico. In January of 1980 a group of lay and professional leaders in southern Puerto Rico established the Ponce School of Medicine Foundation, a non-profit organization, for the purpose of providing continuity to the Medical Education Program (MD Program), originally developed by the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico in 1977. In 1983, recognizing the need to establish a research program, the School applied for funds under the Minority Biomedical Research Support Program (MBRS) and the Research Center in Minority Institutions (RCMI) Program. A Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences (PhD Program) was also initiated in 1988, and in 1992 the Council of Higher Education of Puerto Rico (CHE-PR) accredited the PhD Program and authorized PSM to award a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Biomedical Sciences to those students who completed program.
