The state of Idaho is one step closer to having a medical school. Wednesday in Boise, the legislature's Medical Education Interim Committee met for the third time to discuss the possibility of opening a medical school in Pocatello.
During the meeting, a motion was passed to adopt the three prong approach which was approved in August by the Idaho Medical Association. The prongs include a four-year medical education program, expanding the residency program and adding more state funded medical school seats.
The committees made a motion to recommend the State Board of Education also adopt the approach.
The state board is meeting November18. The committee will also make its own recommendations to the legislature.
