There will be a medical school at Idaho State University
There will be a medical school at Idaho State University. President Arthur Vailas is a winner, and he knows how to think like one. Setting the sights high for ISU is the only way to go.
Casey Santee's article below, highlights Vailas recent speech on the economic impact of Idaho State University.
There are lots of resources and possibilities. Fortunately, Vailas is exploring and tapping into them all.

From the Idaho State Journal:
IDAHO FALLS — Idaho is fast becoming an energy corridor for the world, Idaho State University President Arthur Vailas said during a speech Friday at ISU’s Bennion Student Union Building at University Place.
As evidence, he noted the 55,000-square-foot Center for Advanced Energy Studies, currently under construction at University Place. CAES is a partnership between all three state-funded universities, the Idaho National Laboratory and private industry. He also mentioned Hoku Scientific, a Japanesebased company which is preparing ground for the construction of a $400 million polysilicon plant in Pocatello. The polysilicon will be used in the production of solar panels. Vailas said the development of clean, alternative energy is a must for the nation’s future economic success. “Studies have shown that the longer we rely on fossil fuels, the less efficient our economy becomes,” Vailas said. The CAES facility will research biofuel, geothermal, nuclear and other energy sources. The facility is being funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grants and bond proceeds. ISU is supervising construction and will manage the building once it is finished. CAES is slated to open in June. Prior to the speech, Vailas commented about recent statements by University of Idaho President Tim White, who spoke out against the possibility of an ISU-based medical school. White said his school is responsible for producing Idaho’s doctors through a University of Washington partnership known as WAMI. The joint medical school project also trains physicians for Wyoming, Alaska and Montana. Vailas, who has been pushing for a distributive medical school that includes a statewide network of hospitals and clinics, disagreed with White. “Everyone has the right to their own opinion,” Vailas said, adding that ISU is charged with the state’s medical mission. “I’m fairly confident ISU will play a major role in whatever the State Board of Education, the Legislature and the governor decide.” 0 comments from 0 users
