The FSU College of Medicine is a major economic force in Tallahassee and Florida because of its direct mission to get its students training in communities throughout the state while developing a base for biomedical and biotech research. Having such a prominent institution in this community is important, not only for its commitment to helping to provide training for the next generation of medical professionals locally and statewide, but also for the economic benefits it generates for the local economy.

During the past two weeks, Dr. Julie Jacobson, the senior program officer in the Global Health Program at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has spent time in Haiti, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Switzerland. Oh, and don't forget to add Tallahassee to the mix. Jacobson arrived here Wednesday afternoon in advance of a noon-hour lecture she will give today at Florida State University's medical school. Without question, she chose the path less traveled after completing the Tallahassee Memorial Family Medicine Residency Program in 1998. The University of South Florida graduate didn't enter the program at TMH the traditional way, either.

The 117 graduating students at Florida State University's medical school had plenty to celebrate on Match Day, the primary system for pairing physicians with available positions at teaching hospitals in the United States. It is a joyous occasion for students who have spent at least eight years earning undergraduate and medical degrees. FSU, which is more focused on training primary care doctors than most medical schools, had 72 (62 percent) of its 117 fourth-year students go into primary care programs, about 50 percent above the average medical school.
