First Medical School in America: 1765

In 1765, Philadelphia became home to the nation’s first medical school. More than 250 years later, the Perelman School of Medicine continues to blend innovation and tradition, shaping the future of healthcare. This “Firstival,” part of a free weekly public event series offering entertainment, activities, and storytelling by Historic Philly’s Once Upon a Nation historical experts, will feature a sculpture painted over by Jenn Procacci, offering a glimpse into the architecture and style during which the school was founded. This event is part of America 250 at Penn programming.
