Qunnipiac’s fledgling medical school has added Guilford resident Norbert K. Herzog as a founding faculty member.
In his new position, Herzog will teach in and coordinate the foundations of science courses for first-year students at the medical school, which is scheduled to open in the Fall of 2013, pending preliminary accreditation by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education.
Herzog also serves on the medical school’s Faculty Council and Admissions Committee.
The Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine, which will train primary care physicians, is aiming to become a national model of interprofessional health professions education and improve the way health care is delivered.
By 2017, the medical school plans to have 500 students. The medical school already has named St. Vincent’s Medical Center of Bridgeport as its primary clinical partner. It also has affiliations with MidState Medical Center in Meriden and Middlesex Hospital in Middletown.
