Nashville is now home to three medical schools. Nearly four years after it was announced, the Thomas F. Frist College of Medicine at Belmont University hosted a ribbon cutting for the school’s new facility Monday. 

Around 20 students who were accepted into the inaugural class were recognized at the Monday event. The med school will welcome 50 students total this fall, though the list has not been finalized to share demographics, Belmont spokesperson Julia Copeland told the Post. Students have until June 10 to give their final decisions. The school will eventually accommodate 100 students per class.
