History
Tampa Medical College
(formally known as Medical Prep Institute of Tampa Bay) is owned and operated by a corporation called F. Jenar Inc. and is authorized to do business in the State of Florida. Tampa Medical College was founded in 2008 and began as a Test Preparation School and Continuing Medical Education provider for healthcare professionals. Soon after, the company recognized there was a need in the community to provide affordable, high-quality medical training education for individuals seeking entry-level careers in the healthcare industry. Tampa Medical College decided to transition into an institute of higher learning and officially began offering diploma and degree programs in 2010. In 2021 Medical Prep Institute of Tampa Bay, after adding bachelor’s and Master’s Programs, became Tampa Medical College.
