ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ)- It was a day worth waiting for.
The Medical College of Wisconsin celebrated their first graduation.
Fifteen students graduated, and all have secured placements in residency programs.
80 students are enrolled.
The college was started to address a shortage of physicians in rural Wisconsin.
“MCW-Green Bay was built under a partnership of knowledge changing lives,” said campus dean, Matthew Hunsaker. “These 15 young men and women will help us change the health of the state hopefully here in Northeast Wisconsin.”
Since the medical college’s launch, locally up to 2,500 candidates compete annually for 25 spots in each class.
