A first of its kind graduate-entry collaboration between the University of Cumbria and Imperial College London will see the launch of the Pears Cumbria School of Medicine (PCSM) this week. Located at the University of Cumbria's Fusehill Street campus in Carlisle, the School will welcome its inaugural cohort of 58 students on 26 August.
The new medical school is a pioneering initiative, developed with philanthropic investment from the Pears Foundation, and is designed to address the chronic shortage of doctors in Cumbria. With a bespoke curriculum focused on prevention, digital innovation, and community-based care, PCSM is designed to train doctors where they are most needed, right here in Cumbria.
