Comparing and Rating Medical Schools
The AAMC does not rate medical schools. The mission of every medical school includes teaching, research,
and patient care. Because institutional priorities and approaches
vary, ranking all schools based on a single criterion has limited
utility.
The
criteria sometimes used to differentiate among medical schools include NIH
research funding, percentage of graduates who are underrepresented
in medicine, and tuition
and fees.
A discussion of the value of ranking medical
schools is presented in Academic Medicine, the AAMC's
peer-reviewed monthly journal.
