History
The medical school came about when the University of Plymouth and the University of Exeter announced their plans to demerge the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry (PCMD) into separate schools, called the Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry (PUPSMD) and the University of Exeter Medical School (UEMS) in January 2012.[6][7][8]
The medical school was given permission to award medical degrees in its own right after being accredited by the General Medical Council (GMC) in February 2018.[9]
