State OK to be sought for medical program at Joplin university

The next step would be for MSSU and hospitals to establish a “hub” of at least six hospitals in the Joplin-Springfield-Cape Girardeau areas. They would make contractual agreements with KCUMB and MSSU for clinical programs in which the medical students could spend their junior and senior years.

Pletz said KCUMB already has entered into an agreement with Freeman Health System for a clinical program. Freeman’s program serves 12 to 14 students in their junior and senior years of the medical-doctorate program. That number would jump to 25 students a year if the new program is approved.

Economic benefit

Proponents of the proposed MSSU medical program said it would bring an economic boost to Southwest Missouri, with 150 students entering the program each year, many relocating with families. And as many as 60 percent of the doctors the program would produce would settle in the area, according to historical patterns.
