Seton Hall University and Hackensack Meridian Health are keeping their plans close to the vest about whether the partnership's medical school will open this summer. The flagship project for the former Hoffmann-La Roche campus in Nutley and Clifton would be New Jersey's first private medical school in 50 years.
The Seton Hall-Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine is waiting for the T's to be crossed regarding medical school accreditation.
"At this point we ask that you contact us after Feb. 15, as we anticipate that by that time we will have more information regarding our preliminary accreditation,” officials stated, regarding questions on whether the school was on track to open for the autumn 2018 semester.
According to the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, a nonprofit that processes U.S. accreditation requests, the school was listed as "candidate status," as of Dec. 15.
"Their next step is to attain preliminary accreditation, upon which it is up to them to decide when it is appropriate to begin to recruit applicants and accept applications for enrollment," LCME spokesman John Buarotti stated.
