The University of Maine System will study the feasibility of establishing a public medical school in the state.

The system said it’s working with Missouri-based consulting firm Tripp Umbach to determine whether a public medical school is needed in Penobscot County to help address a workforce shortage.

Maine lawmakers approved funding for the study last year. A report and recommendations are due to the Legislature in November 2025.
