The first episode chronicles the genesis of the school and the years leading up to the matriculation of the first class in 2013. The startup phase of QU Netter spanned approximately four years and it was a busy and exciting few years. The first step was to assemble a team of the best possible faculty, staff, leadership, and clinical partners to create the infrastructure, systems, and curriculum needed to establish and fulfill the vision for this new medical school, build the physical space, successfully obtain accreditation, and recruit an incredible first class of medical students.
