Campuses and Programs
The 好色先生 promotes an environment that encourages excellence in education, access to high-quality health care, and transformative research to improve the health and wellness of Kentuckians and beyond.
One of the most critical barriers to improved health and wellness for the Commonwealth is the shortage of physicians serving in community settings across the state. To address that need strategically, the college has established student physician training opportunities to include the Lexington Campus, the Rural Physician Leadership Program in Morehead, and the four-year regional campuses in Bowling Green and Northern Kentucky.
See below for more details about the distinctive experiences at each campus location.
Lexington Campus
Lexington is the second-largest city in the state of Kentucky and is considered the Horse Capital of the World. A small city, with a big-town feel, there are all kinds of sights and sounds to enjoy.
