Dont forget Vet schools. Harder to get into than Med school..which means if you have one then you are getting some high caliber students.
Tie it in with Harbor Branch to create a Marine specialization and you have something really special.
And the Jupiter campus where they have all the equestrian farms.

The Florida Board of Governors (BOG) unanimously approved the establishment of FAU’s independent medical education program today. The doctor of medicine program was approved by FAU’s Board of Trustees in February 2010, as well as by two BOG committees prior to obtaining approval by the BOG’s full board.
“Today is an exciting day for Florida Atlantic University,” said John Pritchett, FAU’s interim president. “FAU’s medical education program has a strong foundation and will continue to position itself as a leader in state-of-the art medical education and groundbreaking research.”
The new FAU medical education program will employ a unique Continuity Medicine Curriculum whose characteristics include a smaller, more interactive learning environment; interdisciplinary and community collaboration; patient-centered, self-directed learning; small learning communities; continuity of care, patient safety, and comprehensive, chronic disease management; early introduction of clinical training in multiple community-based hospital and outpatient settings; and a state-of-the-art medical simulation center.
In addition to offering the M.D. degree, FAU proposes to offer a dual M.D./biomedical sciences Ph.D. option in partnership with the Scripps Institute Kellogg School of Science and Technology, which would confer a doctorate degree. FAU estimates that up to one fourth of its M.D. students could take advantage of this option.
FAU’s medical education program will be housed at the Charles E. Schmidt College of Biomedical Science on the Boca Raton campus. Student and residency training will be made available throughout hospitals in Palm Beach and Broward counties. The target date for the inaugural class to begin is fall 2011, with total enrollment of the program reaching 246 students by 2014.

Sounds like Crist is on a veto spree but this blog notes that we should still be okay.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Gov. Charlie Crist signed legislation on Saturday authorizing the establishment of Florida Atlantic University’s independent medical education program.
The approval came after the doctor of medicine program was approved by the Florida Board of Governors in April and received approval by FAU’s Board of Trustees in February.
“This landmark legislation signed today by Gov. Crist will create new and diverse opportunities at Florida Atlantic University that will benefit Floridians for decades to come,” said Nancy Blosser, chair of FAU’s Board of Trustees.
