The School of Medicine was created in 1961 after enactment by the Connecticut General Assembly. The vote put aside $2 million to plan and create medicinal and dental schools for the occupants of Connecticut. In 1962, the 106-section of land grounds in Farmington, seven miles west of Hartford, was chosen from forty distinctive options.

Dr. Lyman Maynard Stowe was delegated to be the first senior member of the restorative school; notwithstanding, Dr. Stowe kicked the bucket suddenly in 1965 and Dr. John Patterson was named dignitary. The medicinal school opened its entryways in 1968 in an interim building while development of the building proceeded. Development was finished in 1972, that year the school graduated its five star of twenty-nine doctors. Alongside the medicinal and dental schools, John Dempsey Hospital, named after the senator who marked the starting enactment, was built as a 137-couch college healing facility and let it out's first patient in 1975
