History

A special act of the Board of Trustees created the School of Medicine in 1903. Except for the 1909-1910 session, when clinical training was provided at the Charity Hospital in Vicksburg, it operated continuously as a two-year school on the Oxford campus for more than half a century. In the summer of 1955, the school was moved to the state capital at Jackson and expanded to include the third and fourth years. The first class graduated in June 1957. The School of Medicine is accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education.
