COLTON -- A new private nonprofit medical school is planned that would give preference to area Hispanic students that would likely practice in the Inland Empire, officials said Monday.
The founding group for the California University of Science and Medicine (Cal-Med), to be based in Colton, is led by Dr. Dev GnanaDev, a longtime surgeon and former California Medical Association president.
GnanaDev is chief of surgery at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center and was until recently its medical director.
As head of the CMA, GnanaDev made frequent trips to Washington during the formative period of the Affordable Care Act.
Although the Inland Empire has three medical schools, the region faced a shortage of 3,000 physicians before national healthcare reform became fully implemented this year.
Dr. G. Richard Olds, dean of the School of Medicine at UC Riverside, said the two-county region's doctor shortage will grow to 5,000 in 2021.
The medical school is being financed primarily though a $40 million donation from Prime Healthcare Foundation, which is founded by Dr. Prem Reddy, a cardiologist who is founder, chairman and president of Prime Healthcare Services, which operates 25 hospitals in six states.
In an interview, Reddy said he would make more funding available if it is needed for the launch.
The first class is expected to be 50 students in the fall of 2016, which would grow to 150 in a few years.
GnanaDev said that Cal Med would contain a research element and additional allied healthcare components such as schools for nursing, physician assistants and physical therapy.

COLTON A local group of doctors and community officials announced plans Monday to develop a privately-funded, nonprofit medical school in Colton.
Administrators of the future California University of Science and Medicine (Cal Med), College of Medicine, said in news conference that they intend to open to a class of 50 students by 2016. They are currently seeking accreditation from the Licensing Committee on Medical Education.
This is an exciting and much-needed opportunity for medical students in the Inland Empire and California, said Dr. Dev GnanaDev, Cal Meds founder, president and chief executive officer. Because of many factors, including the extremely limited medical school spots in our state and severe shortage of doctors, we believe this project will have a significant positive impact on the economy, education and health for many decades.
The university and the medical school are being financed primarily through a $40 million donation from Prime Healthcare Foundation, a nonprofit, public charity founded by Dr. Prem Reddy, a longtime Victor Valley resident, cardiologist and philanthropist. Reddy said Monday that hes been committed since the 1980s to giving 50 percent of his income to his family charity, which is now valued in the hundreds of millions.
The commonly asked question is why are you doing this and what makes you do it? Reddy said.
He described his upbringing in a rural village in India where he attended and graduated from a high school that had no electricity.
Having grown up in a village and being the first person in entire generations of my family to ever have gone to a school, forget about elementary school, Reddy said, to have that kind of a background. ... I was fortunate enough to build a hospital from the ground up in Victorville, Desert Valley (Hospital).
Reddy will serve as the chairman of the board for Cal Med and is also the founder, chairman, president and CEO of Prime Healthcare Services. Through their subsidiaries, Prime Healthcare Services and the foundation own and operate 25 hospitals in six states across the country, including Desert Valley Hospital in Victorville and six nonprofit hospitals.
Hes always talked about opening a medical school, since we were little, said Sunitha Reddy, daughter of Prem Reddy, so I think now is the right time.
Prem Reddy said its a challenge to retain physicians in the High Desert and throughout the Inland Empire. Officials hope to mitigate that issue by establishing medical residency programs at Desert Valley Hospital, St. Bernardine Medical Center and Redlands Community Hospital.

SPOKANE Medical officials predict an aging population and expanded health coverage under the Affordable Care Act will contribute to doctor shortages across the nation. In response to the projected need, Washington State University has begun exploring the feasibility of opening a medical school on its Spokane campus.
Its clear we need more primary-care physicians, WSU President Elson Floyd said. The University of Washington has done a great job of putting doctors in the region, he said, but increasing demand in rural Washington state is so great it may require two medical schools.
The UW has operated a program for four decades, training doctors for Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho (WWAMI).
WSU has been affiliated with the program for years, but school officials say they may have outgrown it and cite doctor shortages in Eastern Washington that the program hasnt addressed.
WSUs feasibility study is due at the end of June, and Floyd thinks there is room for such expansion. For states with our population, it is not unusual to have two medical schools, he said.
Floyd is the former president of the University of Missouri system, which operates two medical schools.
The state of Missouri, similar in population to Washington, has a total of five medical schools admitting 500 total medical students per year, according to a WSU statement. UW admits 120 medical students from Washington per year, the statement read.
Doctor shortages are expected across the country as baby boomers age, physicians retire, and more people gain insurance through federal health-care overhaul, said Christiane Mitchell of the Association of American Medical Colleges in Washington, D.C.
The association projects a shortfall of 91,500 doctors across the nation by 2020. The organization does not break down the expected shortages by state.

COLTON A local group of doctors and community officials announced plans Monday to develop a privately-funded, non-profit medical school in Colton.
The allopathic medical school, known as California University of Science and Medicine (Cal Med), College of Medicine, will seek accreditation from the Licensing Committee on Medical Education in time to open in 2016, according to a news release issued by the colleges officials.
This is an exciting and much-needed opportunity for medical students in the Inland Empire and California, said Dr. GnanaDev, Cal Meds founder, president and chief executive officer.

Through their subsidiaries, Prime Healthcare Services and the Foundation own and operate 25 hospitals in six states across the country, including six non-profit hospitals.
This is a landmark day for our communities in medical education and health care, said Dr. Reddy in a statement. I am extremely proud as a physician, as a local resident and longtime proponent of health education to contribute to this project. Through Dr. GnanaDevs vision and participation of many who will be positively affected by the school, the medical school will become a pillar of health education in our area.
Cal Med will be housed initially at a temporary site until a permanent facility, potentially located near Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) in Colton, is built. The school expects to welcome 50 students in its inaugural class and include a maximum of approximately 150 within a decade, officials said.
Cal Med will be a great addition to the universities, colleges and trade schools providing career training and educational opportunities to our residents," San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Chair Janice Rutherford said in a written statement. "In addition, the new medical school will help us overcome our region's doctor shortage by allowing more students to pursue careers in the medical profession."
Cal Med hopes to cultivate an environment that facilitates advances in education, research and health care delivery, the news release states. The school will partner with Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, and other hospitals in the county and throughout Southern California to train the next generation of innovative and diverse health care professionals.
The opportunity to establish a new medical school within the county is exciting, said Josie Gonzales, 5th District Supervisor for the County of San Bernardino. The medical school will not only help meet the growing demand for new health care professionals, it would be an economic boost to Colton and the surrounding communities.

ABU DIS, West Bank Since graduating from a local medical school nine years ago, Basel Nassar has been barred from serving his community in east Jerusalem, despite a shortage of doctors there.
Like dozens of other Palestinian doctors, Nassar has been caught in the political battle between Israel and the Palestinians over east Jerusalem. Israel captured and annexed the traditionally Arab sector in 1967, a step not recognized by most of the world, while the Palestinians seek it as a capital.
Palestinians long have held that Israel's attempt to impose its sovereignty over east Jerusalem the emotional core of the Mideast conflict and home to major religious shrines has violated basic rights and disrupted the lives of many of the city's Arab residents. Yet Israel's policy of banning dozens of Jerusalem residents from working in the city as doctors increasingly is being criticized by Israelis, including leading physicians who say politics must not trump the right to health care.
Earlier this month, an Israeli court overturned the Health Ministry's ban after Nassar and others sued, ostensibly clearing the way for him and 54 other doctors who are graduates of the Palestinians' Al-Quds University to apply for Israeli medical licenses. But it's not clear if the government has dropped the legal battle.
Critics say the issue is rooted in politics, not medical standards. Many of the doctors have passed medical examination tests elsewhere, including the U.S. and western Europe. But since all graduated from Al-Quds, a university with a foothold in east Jerusalem, Israeli recognition of their degrees could be seen as acknowledgment of Palestinian claims to the eastern sector of the city.
The Health Ministry applied a similar ruling several years ago to a small group of graduates on a one-time basis. It hasn't ruled out appealing the latest court decision.

The Health Ministry applied a similar ruling several years ago to a small group of graduates on a one-off basis. It has not ruled out appealing the latest court decision.
Nassar, 34, had planned to emigrate to the U.S. because he could no longer support his family on a monthly salary of $1,300 at a West Bank clinic. He could earn about triple at Israeli hospitals. Following the court decision, he says he will stay to train as a cardiologist in Israel and then work in East Jerusalem, where heart specialists are scarce.
Eventually its a simple equation, he said. People in need. Good physicians and qualified physicians. These shall serve these.
