Important Update on the Status of Morgan State University’s Medical School Plans (BALTIMORE – August 28, 2025) — Morgan State University and Salud Education announce a mutual decision to end the affiliation agreements for the proposed Maryland College of Osteopathic Medicine at Morgan State University. This collaborative initiative, originally designed to create a College of Osteopathic Medicine at Morgan, would have provided a pathway for training physicians in a region where access to osteopathic education remains limited and where diverse representation in medicine is essential. Both parties express gratitude to the community for its support, and both maintain a continuing commitment to advancing educational opportunities and fostering diversity in the medical profession. While that particular effort will not move forward, Morgan State University is charting a new course. With the support of a two-year, $1.75 million grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), Morgan will develop a comprehensive plan to establish its own public, nonprofit Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) program—a first for Maryland’s largest Historically Black College or University (HBCU). The envisioned Morgan-operated M.D. medical school will expand opportunities for students from groups underrepresented in medicine, train more physicians committed to serving underserved communities, and strengthen the health care workforce pipeline across Maryland and beyond. “This investment represents a pivotal moment for Morgan and for the communities we serve,” said David K. Wilson, president of Morgan State University. “For more than a decade, we have been committed to the idea that a medical school on our campus can be transformative—not only for our students but for the state of Maryland and the nation. With the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s support, we are charting a new course toward a public, nonprofit M.D. program that will train physicians where they are most needed, close gaps in care, and reflect the diversity of the populations served.” The new direction expands upon Morgan’s earlier vision, offering a stronger, more sustainable model with broader recognition for graduates, access to state and federal funding, and a sharper focus on addressing critical physician shortages. Through the planning process funded by RWJF, Morgan will work with state, federal, and philanthropic partners to design a blueprint for a medical school built to last—one that serves as a national model for inclusive excellence in medical education.
