22. Other schools producing physicians in Kentucky:
*Based on entering 2014 class.

23. UK COM is quickly becoming the 4th largest provider of students for the Commonwealth.

24. Center for Health Education and Research

25. The Medical Center-WKU Health Sciences Complex

26. Rationale: KY has a shortage of physicians.
UK COM has a deep applicant pool.
UK COM is at its enrollment capacity on the Lexington campus.
These University partnerships provide the educational space. 
These clinical partnerships provide sites for clinical education.
These regional partnerships are the only way that UK COM can greatly expand class size to produce more doctors for KY.
This partnership provides the parameters for expansion possibility.
Details of this implementation will be worked out with faculty, staff, etc. in the coming months to years.
