It is home to Maine’s only medical school and 新英格兰北部唯一的牙科学院，以及节目 药店, 医师助理, 护理, 物理治疗, 职业治疗, 社会工作, 口腔卫生, 护士麻醉. Uniting these programs on a single footprint will create additional opportunities for students to learn to work in teams, a practice known as interprofessional education, which has been shown to lead to improved outcomes for patients.
“Construction of this new building will allow us to admit more medical students each year, with state-of-the-art learning spaces where those students will get hands-on clinical experience and have the opportunity to learn alongside their peers in other health programs,全球网络赌博平台校长詹姆斯·赫伯特说. “当它完成时, it will be transformative for UNE and transformative for the study and practice of medicine in Maine.”
The project’s projected cost is $93 million, and it is expected to be complete by the summer of 2024.

新设施的设计特点 will incorporate best practices in medical education and team-based learning, 包括灵活的教室, 高超的技术能力, and spaces designed to encourage collaboration and interaction.
