Dr. Lindley H. Wagner was head of the Lafayette Center for Medical Education at Purdue University and helped form the program.

During the pilot years of the program, students took their first year courses alongside other Purdue University students in existing graduate level courses. In 1971, a specific medical school curriculum was established with courses restricted to medical student participation. The curriculum was expanded to include a second year in 1980.
