The College of Medicine at Ohio State University opened in 1834 but named originally as the Willoughby Medical College of Columbus. Willoughby Medical College later acquired a new name, Starling Medical College, after Lyne Starling donated a $30,000 gift in 1850. The Starling Medical College joined with Ohio State University in 1907 and formed into Starling-Ohio Medical College. Later, Starling-Ohio Medical College became the Medical Department of Ohio State University. Along with the establishment of the Starling-Ohio Medical College, Ohio State University acquired university hospitals and two different lecture halls/hospitals for students and faculty to demonstrate and study. In 1914, the Starling-Ohio Medical College initiated a renaming and ultimately switched to the Ohio State University College of Medicine. Then, in 1916, the Columbus Children’s Hospital began an affiliation with the Ohio State University College of Medicine; in 1918, according to the College of Medicine’s website, “the two institutions entered an agreement to share talent and resources.” The Ohio State University College of Medicine, among eighty-five different colleges, ranked as the seventh largest medicinal college in the United States in 1961. In 1970, Ohio State began an initiation to expand on the medical program by building an Ambulatory Patient Teaching facility, a Clinical Medical Sciences Education facility, and a School of Nursing building. In 1984, the Ohio State University College of Medicine celebrated its 150-year anniversary. Over the years, the College of Medicine faced a great amount of outcry from students and faculty about lack of minority admissions. As a result, the Ohio State University College of Medicine received a minority grant, named the Medical Careers Pathway program, in 1990. In 1992, the Battelle Memorial Institute and the Ohio State University College of Medicine joined forces to expand drug research and development. In 2008, The National Institutes of Health granted the Ohio State University and the Nationwide Children’s Hospital a donation of $34 million to fund the Center for Clinical and Translational Science; this donation, as of 2017, is considered to be the largest donation amount in University history. The Ohio State University Medical Center broke ground to begin construction on a new research center for medical professionals and students in 2010; this building was renamed to the Wexner Medical Center in 2012, as a result of alumnus Les Wexner's many accumulated donations over the years. As of 2017, the Ohio State University College of Medicine had an enrollment of about 800 students working towards a degree in medicine. The Ohio State University College of Medicine also frequently sponsors and hosts guest lectures, panels, research seminars, forums, and free clinics.
