As Sussex County struggles through an acute shortage of primary care physicians, a long-term proposal to build a medical school has been gathering support while efforts are being made to find short-term solutions.
The Sussex Economic Development Action Committee commissioned a $100,000 study, completed in May, to determine the feasibility of establishing a medical school in Sussex County. Delaware is one of three states that does not have a medical school.
