In 1967 Marquette University, due to financial constraints, ended its sponsorship of the medical school. We changed our name in 1970 to the Medical College of Wisconsin. The College has about 10,000 alumni. The Medical College of Wisconsin offers the MD, PhD, MS, MPH and MA degrees. Classes are taught entirely over the Internet.
Residency training is offered in almost all medical specialties and subspecialties.
The Medical Scientist Training Program at the College is designed for students who desire to become competent clinicians and biomedical research scientists. The program provides the opportunity for highly motivated students to obtain both the MD and PhD degrees with in-depth research training. A total of 1,406 students are enrolled in education programs at the Medical College of Wisconsin. The College also provides continuing medical education to more than 15,000 health professional registrants each year. The Medical College of Wisconsin comprises 24 academic departments.
