Morgan State University, in Baltimore, is seeking to open a for-profit medical school as early as 2023 that will be funded by a private company, Salud Education, according to a university spokesperson. The College of Osteopathic Medicine would be the first new medical school at a historically black institution in nearly 45 years, according to Morgan State. It would offer doctor of osteopathic medicine degrees. Officials say the school would help remedy the country's growing shortage of physicians — specifically new black doctors. Salud will front the cost of starting the school, but skepticism remains about for-profit medical schools.
