BYU does not plan to build a hospital or hospital system in which to train its med students. Currently BYU is seeking a healthcare partner to provide training sites.
BYU’s med school will be private and faith-affiliated. (Which I take to mean that it will primarily accept LDS members.)
BYU’s statement does not make clear whether the new medical school will an allopathic (MD) or an osteopathic (DO) program.
Currently neither the LCME nor COCA list BYU as having applied to open a medical school.
Utah already has one public allopathic med school at University of Utah (which is opening a second medical school campus at St George, UT in the 2025), plus two osteopathic med schools: Norda COM (private) in Provo and a campus of RockyVista COM (private) in Irvine, UT.
