Rico in 1977 with a chartered class of just 26 students. In January
of 1980, a group of lay and professional leaders in southern Puerto
Rico, established a non-profit organization, the Ponce School of Medicine
Foundation, for the purpose of operating the Ponce School of Medicine.
In July 1980, the Council of Higher Education of Puerto Rico (CHE-PR)
authorized the Foundation to operate the Ponce School of Medicine.
