5in northeast Wisconsin, followed by MCW-Central Wisconsin; and
AJR55,2,96 Whereas, building upon decades of strong partnership and collaboration, the
7State of Wisconsin partnered with MCW in the 2013-2015 biennial budget to provide
8MCW with nearly $7.4 million in State Building Commission funding for the
9development of these new medical schools; and
AJR55,2,1210 Whereas, MCW-Central Wisconsin is designed to recruit and integrate medical
11students into the very fabric of the communities they will eventually serve as
12tomorrow's physicians; and

14medical students in July 2016; and

16Wisconsin region have all come together with MCW to create a truly unique and
17community-based medical education for the inaugural class of MCW-Central

19to come; now, therefore, be it
AJR55,2,24 20Resolved by the assembly, the senate concurring, That the legislature
