The Ponce Health Sciences University (PHSU) is a private, for-profit university in St. Louis, Missouri. It is a satellite medical school for Ponce Health Sciences University (PHSU) in Ponce, Puerto Rico, and specializes in degrees for Master of Science in Medical Sciences (MSMS), Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD), and Doctorate of Medicine (MD). The school also focuses on cultural competency, emphasizing training culturally competent health professionals. Their mission is to "provide a world-class, culturally-competent, health sciences education to the population we serve, through innovative adaptive learning environments focused on the success of its students to become ethical practitioners and scientists.".[1] The St. Louis campus is set to hold up to 600 students.[2]
History[edit]
While the parent school for PHSU St. Louis dates all the way back to 1980, this satellite school was founded in 2022 when the campus opened in St. Louis to expand the university's global network. Their goal with the expansion was to continue serving historically underserved communities. Through this venture PHSU plans to expand and advance efforts to educate diverse populations[2] through a top-tier medical school and clinical psychology programs. The schools current sitting president is Gino Natalicchio, Ph.D[3]
The Campus[edit]
The campus for PSU St. Louis sits at 2351 Market Street. The school leases 56,743 square feet of a previous office building[4] in order to bring medical training to minority students. The campus includes a library, lecture halls, classrooms, recreational area, and labs to help fulfill requirements for degree programs offered through the school.
Predictive Student Analytics[edit]
The medical school precursor program, the Master of Science in Medical Sciences (MSMS) program, has a curriculum that mimics that of the first year of LCME-accredited medical schools. Predictive student analytics take the students performance and delivers insights into how students will perform in medical school.[5]
Using these analytics and dedicated student counselors, PHSU St. Louis also offers pathways to help students stay on the course to being qualified to enter the medical career of their choosing.
