About the School
Ponce Health Sciences University (PHSU) is a private, for-profit institution with campuses in Ponce, Puerto Rico, and St. Louis, Missouri. Established in 1977, PHSU offers graduate degrees in Medicine (MD), Clinical Psychology (PsyD and PhD), Biomedical Sciences (PhD), Medical Sciences (MS), and Public Health (MPH and DrPH). The St. Louis campus, inaugurated in 2018, expanded its MD program in August 2022, admitting 30 additional students, bringing the total to 180. This expansion reflects PHSU's commitment to addressing the global healthcare workforce shortage by cultivating a diverse pipeline of medical professionals.
Curriculum
The MD program at PHSU is a rigorous, four-year curriculum accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME). The first two years focus on foundational basic sciences integrated with early clinical experiences. The third and fourth years consist of core clinical clerkships in pediatrics, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, family medicine, psychiatry, and surgery, followed by advanced specialty rotations. This structure aims to prepare students for excellence in medical practice, emphasizing compassionate, culturally competent healthcare.
Facilities
PHSU's St. Louis campus is located in the historic Globe Building in Downtown West, adjacent to the Citypark stadium. In March 2020, PHSU announced an $80 million investment to construct a new medical school campus near their downtown location, on the former Pruitt-Igoe site. This expansion underscores the university's commitment to enhancing educational facilities and addressing the physician shortage by training culturally competent medical professionals.
Demographics
PHSU is dedicated to educating a diverse student body, emphasizing cultural competence to serve varied patient populations effectively. The university's bilingual (English-Spanish) academic environment uniquely positions students to serve both Puerto Rican communities and the growing Hispanic population across the United States. Over the past 46 years, PHSU has graduated more than 3,000 physicians, biomedical scientists, and master's degree holders in medical sciences, many of whom have made significant contributions in both Puerto Rico and the mainland U.S.
