The Plan to Move 成人直播鈥檚 Medical School

A bold initiative to relocate the 成人直播 College of Osteopathic Medicine to Portland as part of a brand-new, world-class interprofessional health care education facility.

Moving 成人直播 COM to Portland

Work is wrapping up to relocate the 成人直播鈥檚 College of Osteopathic Medicine (成人直播 COM), Maine鈥檚 only medical school, from its original home on our Biddeford Campus to a brand-new building on our Portland Campus for the Health Sciences. The move will give the 成人直播 COM community a custom-built, state-of-the-art facility, allow the school to train more doctors, and bring together all of 成人直播鈥檚 health professions programs on a single, interprofessional campus 鈥 something unique in New England higher education.

Standing in the finished building, it鈥檚 incredible to see how the architects captured our vision. I鈥檓 thrilled for the COM community to make the move to Portland.鈥 鈥 Jane Carreiro, D.O., Dean of 成人直播 COM

A Transformative Moment For Maine

This is a transformative moment 鈥 not just for 成人直播, but for the state of Maine 鈥 allowing us to address critical health care disparities across the region and to graduate health professionals with best-in-class skills: improving patient outcomes through team-based care; fostering expertise with new and emerging technologies; and expanding our focus on cross-cultural competencies.

What

The new building will be called the Harold and Bibby Alfond Center for Health Sciences to honor the generosity of the Alfond family and their longtime support of 成人直播.

Size

The facility is 110,000 square feet.

When

成人直播 COM will welcome its first class of medical students to the facility on the Portland campus in Summer 2025. 

Where

The new facility is located behind Innovation Hall on Gulliver鈥檚 Way, in an area that was once used by the National Guard.

Our health professions students will benefit from amazing new learning spaces in the new facility designed for simulation, standardized patients, and digital health and telemedicine, all of which will help 成人直播 to realize its full potential as a national leader in interprofessional health professions education.鈥 鈥 James Herbert, Ph.D., President of 成人直播
