ROANOKE — The Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Research Institute has received state approval.
The certification by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia gives the Roanoke school degree-granting authority, and makes it eligible to apply for scholarship and grant funding. Its doctorate of medicine program received preliminary accreditation in June by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education.
The school, a partnership between Virginia Tech and Carilion Clinic, expects its first class of 42 students to start in fall 2010, and graduate with an M.D. degree in the spring of 2014.
