History of the School of Medicine

THE EARLY YEARS

The Marshall University School of Medicine was established in the 1970s through federal legislation which authorized the creation of five new medical schools in conjunction with existing VA hospitals. The West Virginia Legislature appropriated funding for the school in 1975, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education granted provisional accreditation in 1977, and the first class entered in January 1978 and graduated in 1981.

In its early years, the school focused its most intense energy on building a strong faculty and a sound academic program, laying a foundation in biomedical research and establishing the partnerships that would be integral to its success as a community-based medical school. The school also developed primary care and rural health programs that would become cornerstones for its growth in the coming years.

THE 1980s AND 1990s

From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, the medical school greatly increased the scope and depth of its clinical services, as well as saw steady growth in the development of its research program. Marshall's research efforts received a strong boost from the National Science Foundation's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCOR). The EPSCOR grant allowed the school to establish a research program in cell regulatory biology, facilitating interdisciplinary research in the regulation of cellular function and establishing state-of-the-art facilities for molecular biology and cell culture.

Despite having one of the nation's smallest biomedical science (BMS) programs, Marshall's per capita extramural funding for BMS faculty in 1996 ranked above the 30th percentile for all U.S. medical schools.

Marshall received stand-alone Ph.D.-granting status for its Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program in 1992, and it created a graduate program in forensic science that quickly gained national prominence.

In addition, the school developed and piloted several innovative education programs that focused on stimulating students' interest in rural practice, as well as an accelerated family practice residency.

NEW FACILITIES WITH ROOM TO GROW

By the mid-1990s, the need for new and expanded clinical space as well as new research and preclinical teaching space became clear. Beginning in 1998 and the decade that followed, Marshall saw the completion of five new clinical, educational and research buildings with an investment of more than $120 million--the VA Research addition, the Marshall University Medical Center, the Robert C. Byrd Biotechnology Science Center, the Erma Ora Byrd Clinical Center and the Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center.
