Overview

The Alice L. Walton School of Medicine trains future physicians through a four-year MD program that blends conventional medicine with holistic health concepts, arts, and humanities to focus on the human dimensions of care. It operates as a private, non-profit medical school in Bentonville, Arkansas, pursuing accreditation to grant the MD degree and welcoming its first class in 2025, with financial aid and equal opportunity in education. Its curriculum integrates science with patient-centered, holistic approaches and emphasizes whole-health and humanistic care, supported by philanthropic funding. The goal is to obtain full accreditation and enroll the inaugural class in 2025 to produce doctors trained in a holistic, patient-centered approach.
