University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School

The University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, usually called UMass Chan Medical School, is a public medical school in Worcester, Massachusetts, and part of the University of Massachusetts system. It consists of three schools: the T.H. Chan School of Medicine, the Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and the Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing, and it also operates a biomedical research enterprise and public-service initiatives across the state. The Massachusetts General Court established it as the University of Massachusetts Medical School in 1962, its first class of 16 students entered in 1970, and a 2021 gift of 175 million dollars from the family of Chan Tseng-hsi led to its new name.
