The University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine (UMMSM) is the graduate medical school of the University of Miami. Founded in 1952, it is the oldest medical school in the state of Florida.CampusThe main medical campus is located in the Civic Center, Miami, Florida within the 153acre UM/Jackson Memorial Medical Center complex.

FAU is a public university, and the State of Florida supported the Boca Raton program with an annual contribution of $15 million. MD students were admitted to either the Miami or Boca Raton programs and spent all four years studying on the selected campus. In April 2005, the Boca Raton program was expanded into a full four-year medical degree program. All graduates of the Boca Raton program received University of Miami degrees rather than FAU degrees. As of 2011, FAU has created its own medical school, independent of the University of Miami.
