On Wednesday, the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation announced their $50 million investment into the project, which is set to be as close to The 40 Acres as possible.

Thursday morning, a UT spokesperson said in an email to YNN that building the school as close to University Medical Center Brackenridge is one option, or where the Penick-Allison Tennis Courts are currently located.

UT's Board of Regents first approved a medical school on campus last May. In November, Travis County voters passed Central Health Proposition 1, which raises property taxes to fund training for medical students. UT has agreed to fund the medical school itself, but the Dell Foundation's donation reduces a huge amount of its cost. According to a press release, the school will be named the Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin.

Travis County Central Health Official Rosie Mendoza says local taxpayers are the catalyst to starting the medical school engine.

"It was because they said yes to Central to increase their taxes that we are going to be able to bring this medical school to life," she said.

It's estimated the school will bring 15,000 jobs to the area, and $2 billion a year will impact the greater Austin area when the school is complete.

Michael Dell said his foundations contribution will pay off for the entire community.

"In addition to improved health outcome, the medical school will attract leading medical practitioners, researchers to the Austin area, Dell said. That's going to spur all sorts of medical technology innovations which will be available on a yearly basis to our entire community and also will drive a new wave of economic growth around biotech technologies"

Construction costs for the medical school are estimated at $233 million. Operating costs over 12 years could reach $4.1 billion.

"That's going to spur all sorts of medical technology innovations, which will be available on an early basis to our entire community, and will also, I think, drive a new wave of economic growth around the biotech industry in Austin."

The foundation has donated more than $100 million toward health care in Central Texas since 2003, including $32 million for the Dell Children's Medical Center in East Austin.

Michael Dell hopes this grant will make Austin as synonymous with medical advances as it is for live music.

"We will be able to spur innovative technology investment and provide early local access to resulting medical breakthroughs," he said.

The computer magnate says it's the next step in evolving Austin's tech identity.

"We will also, I think, drive a new wave of economic growth around the biotech industry in Austin," Dell said.

Michael Dells family foundation will provide $50 million for a medical school to be built in Austin, Texas, plus $10 million for health care in the city.

The new Dell Medical School will be a partnership that includes the University of Texas, hospital group Seton Healthcare Family and Travis County, which encompasses Austin. The university, whose flagship campus is in the states capital city, runs medical schools in Dallas, Galveston, Houston, San Antonio and Tyler.

Dell, who dropped out of the state school in 1984 to start computer maker Dell Inc. (DELL), gave $38 million to help build a pediatric research center on the Austin campus in 2007, said Gary Susswein, a university spokesman. The Dell family foundation also provided $32 million for a childrens hospital in the city.

It is the right investment for our family, our university and our community, Dell said yesterday at a briefing to announce the latest gift. The effects of the medical school will be felt well beyond the campus.

The university plans to start building the facility this year and enroll students by 2016, said Austin campus President Bill Powers. Voters in the county approved raising taxes by 5 cents per $100 of assessed property value in November, partly to fund the new medical schools operations.

Dell Inc., where Michael Dell is chairman and chief executive officer, is the focus of a plan by the entrepreneur to take it private and regain majority control. The deal would combine Michael Dells almost 16 percent stake with as much as $1 billion of his personal funds in a buyout led by Silver Lake Management LLC and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), said people familiar with the matter. The company is based in suburban Round Rock and employs 14,000 in the Austin area, spokesman David Frink said.

Dell had a net worth estimated at more than $14 billion this week, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a daily ranking of the worlds richest people.

The Michael and Susan Dell Foundation pledged $5 million a year for a decade to support the medical school, officials said during the briefing at the charitable organizations Austin headquarters.

The foundations additional commitment of $10 million over a decade will go to support health quality and access programs in Travis County and Austin, according to a statement from the charitable organization.

Dells Pledge $50 Million to Build Austin Medical School

Returning senators are sworn in as the State Legislature begins its session, Monday, Jan. 28, 2013.

SALT LAKE CITY Students looking to become doctors would have an easier time getting into the University of Utah medical school, and parents would have greater access into how school districts spend public money if two bills considered Monday by the Senate Education Committee are passed by the Utah Legislature.

Both SB42 and SB128 cleared the committee by unanimous vote. The bills are sponsored by Sen. John Valentine, R-Orem, and Sen. Daniel Thatcher, R-West Valley City, respectively.

Valentine's bill would provide $10 million in ongoing annual funding to the University of Utah to create an additional 40 medical school slots each year. He said the bill would solve a problem created by the Legislature, as years of budget cuts during the recession required shrinking the medical school's student capacity.

"We all recognized that there was going to be a day when we would have to start refilling those slots," Valentine said.

In addition to restoring funding to the school, Valentine said the bill is designed to address the shortage of medical professionals in the state. The wording of the bill mandates that the 40 slots be given to individuals who are likely to remain in Utah after completing their training, such as Utah residents or students who graduated from a Utah high school or university.

"The number of doctors we need in Utah is only going to escalate," Valentine said. "As we use taxpayer dollars to fund doctors, we ought to be looking at doctors that have a higher chance of staying in Utah."

Current statute mandates that 75 percent of the school's admitted students be Utah residents, the medical school's dean, Vivian Lee, said, with another eight slots being set aside for residents of Idaho. Even with those designations, Lee said, many qualified students are turned away each year because of lack of space at the U., which has the only medical school of the Utah System of Higher Education.

Funding for medical school and school transparency move forward

By Chelsea Conaboy, Globe Staff

Alpert Medical School of Brown University is introducing a program meant to teach primary care doctors to think beyond the care of individual patients. The school is planning a dual degree program, to begin in 2015, in which doctors in training can earn a masters degree in population health.

The program will enroll 24 people per class who plan to work in primary care, and the curriculum will include disease prevention and the needs of certain patient groups, such as newborns and new mothers or the elderly, said Dr. Edward Wing, dean of medicine and biological sciences. It will emphasize teamwork across medical disciplines and cover new health care delivery models, such as patient-centered medical homes.

Primary care doctors are playing a central role in the planned overhaul of the US health care system and coordinating patient care across many specialties. They also are under pressure to address factors affecting the overall health of the communities they serve and to provide more preventive care.

For example, Wing said, primary care physicians need to look at the individual and the systemic causes of obesity among their patients. How do you actually address that? he said. The medical system simply hasnt done it very well.

As health care changes fast, those who train medical professionals are pushing to keep up. Many are tweaking programs and introducing new ones to help health care leaders to be as prepared as possible for the changes.

Dartmouth College this month graduated the first class from its masters program in Health Care Delivery Science, a partial distance learning program that combines class time and hands-on projects meant for people already in leadership positions in health care. David Sell of The Philadelphia Inquirer described the program this way when it got started in 2011:

We were trying to attract a student body that was in the real world, said Al Mulley, director of the Dartmouth Institute for Health Care Delivery Science, who has spent 30-plus years as a doctor and teacher in Boston hospitals and at Harvard. We werent sure we wanted people who could afford to take two years off or whose organizations could afford to send them away for two years. Our argument to CEOs was that this really will be unique.

Wing said the Brown program may be the first of its kind in the country to integrate population health into a four-year medical school in this way. The program will include a clerkship program modeled after one that was piloted by Cambridge Health Alliance, in which students work with a primary care physician to follow a group of patients with varied needs over time. In a traditional model, students instead rotate among specialties, such as obstetrics, surgery, and pediatrics.

We really have to reimagine our medical education, he said.

Bill would expand U. of Utah medical school class

Higher education The requested $10 million would admit 20 new students in the fall, 20 more later.

Last year, Utah legislators shut down an effort to admit more medical students at the University of Utah despite a physician shortage that ranks among the worst in the country.

This year, the outlook appears rosier though it will still have to contend with other high-dollar desires in higher education.

SB42, sponsored by Sen. John Valentine, R-Orem, is more ambitious than last years request, calling for $10 million to quickly replace 20 spots cut over the last four years and prepare for another 20 students, building toward a U. School of Medicine class of 122.

"Forty would have been the number we should have moved to during this time period to keep pace," Valentine said Friday on the Senate floor. "Doctors in my generation, the baby boom generation, they are retiring in droves. We need to make sure we are aware of this problem and we take proactive steps to [fix] it, and this is a proactive step to do it."

One of the first bills considered after the session opened Monday, it passed through the Senate Education committee unanimously and got another unanimous thumbs up with a second reading on the Senate floor Friday. The Senate is expected to vote on the proposal early this week; it will then go to the House for consideration.

If it passes, Dean Vivian Lee said, the school will admit 20 additional students this fall, and admit the other 20 students in the next two years.

Facing federal and state funding cuts, the medical school cut its annual class size to 82 students in 2009 a time when it should have been expanding, Lee said.

"Theres no way we can keep up," Lee said, citing Utahs rapid population growth, an aging population and demands brought about by the new national health care law.

Jan. 31, 2013 Doctors who graduate from medical schools with an active policy on restricting gifts from the pharmaceutical industry are less likely to prescribe new drugs over existing alternatives, suggests a new study.

Medical school policies that restrict gifts to physicians from the pharmaceutical and device industries are becoming increasingly common, but the effect of such policies on physician prescribing behaviour after graduation into clinical practice is unknown.

So a team of US researchers set out to examine whether attending a medical school with a gift restriction policy affected subsequent prescribing of three newly marketed psychotropic (stimulant, antidepressant, and antipsychotic) drugs.

They identified 14 US medical schools with an active gift restriction policy in place by 2004.

They then analysed prescribing patterns in 2008 and 2009 of physicians attending one of these 14 schools compared with physicians graduating from the same schools before the policy was implemented, as well as a control sample of 20 schools that only adopted a gift restriction policy in 2008.

For two of the three drugs examined, attending a medical school with an active gift restriction policy was associated with reduced prescribing of the new drug over older alternatives within the same drug class.

A significant effect was not seen for the third drug.

Among students who had a longer exposure to the policy, or were exposed to more stringent policies, prescribing rates were further reduced.

"Our findings suggest that conflict of interest policies, which have been increasingly adopted by medical schools since 2002, may have the potential to substantially impact clinical practice and reduce prescribing of newly marketed pharmaceuticals," say the authors.

They add: "Future research examining the effect of these policies on medications with varying levels of innovativeness is necessary to establish whether medical school gift restriction policies reduce prescribing of all newly marketed medications or affect prescribing selectively."
