The FSU College of Medicine was founded in June 2000, with the mission of developing exemplary physicians who practice patient-centered health care and are responsive to community needs. In 2016, the College was ranked as the second most competitive medical school in the country for admissions by U.S. News & World Report. The College of Medicine is also home to the Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences (IMS) major, designed for undergraduate students interested in health-related careers. A rigorous science curriculum serves as the foundation of the degree, and students can select one of three interdisciplinary majors that fits their developing career goals. The three interdisciplinary majors are Pre-health Professions; Community Patient Care; or Health Management, Policy and Information.
