A new six -year accelerated medical degree program has been announced amidst the lack of a growing healthcare provider in Polk County, Florida Polytechnic University and Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine.
In the Polk County, reports suggest that they have many doctors, dentists and pediatricians per 100,000 inhabitants compared to the state average. This decrease is associated with rapid growth in population.
