NWA Highlights – Medical

Founded in 2021, the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine officially broke ground on the 14-acre campus on March 30th, 2023. The 154,000 square foot facility will be home to a 4-year medical degree program that integrates conventional medicine with holistic principles. The campus will be east of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art with trails connecting the two facilities. The 4-level building will include learning halls, a public gallery, library, teaching spaces, administrative offices, theatre, wellness areas, and more. In the outdoor space there will be healing gardens, outdoor classrooms, urban farming space, cafe, and amphitheater. 

AWSOM (Alice L Walton School of Medicine) is still pending programmatic accreditation.  There are six assistant deans who will be overseeing the curriculum for the school.  The inaugural class of 48 students is to be chosen late 2024 with the first semester starting late 2025.
