Sam Hinkle and Eric Walker each hold a corded phone to their ear in a recreation of the $50 million phone call in the 1960s; text in the bottom right corner says 60 years since the phone call, 1963-2023.

In the six decades since, Penn State College of Medicine has grown from one singular campus and a small class of medical students to a multi-campus academic, research and clinical care powerhouse and force for good. Inspired by our legacy of academic excellence, groundbreaking research and life-changing patient care, we continue to change lives for the better. We continue to show the world what medicine means.
