As reported here in the Roanoke paper, a new medical school in Blacksburg will start classes this fall.
Part of the mission of the school is to provide opportunities for Appalachian students and ultimately provide doctors to a region which may be seeing a shortage of doctors as soon as 2010, by which time "30 percent of Southwest Virginia's doctors are expected to end their practices." Some of these goals sound familiar, like what I understand about the Appalachian School of Law in Grundy.
