University description (as per official university website)
History
The Medical College of Wisconsin was founded in 1893 as the Wisconsin College of Physicians and Surgeons. In 1913 the Wisconsin College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Milwaukee Medical College merged to become the Marquette University School of Medicine.
In 1967 Marquette University, due to financial constraints, terminated its sponsorship of the medical school. The school then continued as a private, national, freestanding institution. Its name was changed in 1970 to the Medical College of Wisconsin. The College has approximately 13,500 alumni.
The Medical College of Wisconsin is a private, freestanding medical school dedicated to leadership and excellence in advancing the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease and injury through:

* Patient Care – providing effective, compassionate, expert care for patients
* Community Engagement – partnering with public and private organizations to enhance learning, research, patient care and the health of the community
