FIU's Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine has been granted full accreditation, fulfilling a promise university leaders made to build a public medical school in Miami committed to training a new generation of physicians.
The announcement comes as the Wertheim College of Medicine graduates its first class of students, who are now eligible for medical residency programs.
